[Music] Oh no, Ken Bruce quits Radio 2!

[Super Steve Earle]

Ken is leaving Radio 2 to join Greatest Hits radio. That's me done with daytime Radio 2 now. Only Bob Harris Country left. I'll have to find Greatest Hits Radio on the car radio now.

 

[Poyningsgull]

I remember the day he joined. Thought it was a bit odd that he sounded exactly like Wogan who he replaced.

 

[Weststander]

A great presenter without an ego.

Please no in-ya-face tw@t next.

 

[jakarta]

Best DJ on Radio 2 by far, massive audience figures, BBC shooting themselves in the foot yet again.

 

[Bob!]

Is Popmaster moving with him?

 

[crodonilson]

I'd imagine Rylan Clark Neal would be likely to replace him, or Jermaine Jenas.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

BBC are good at doing cloning. When Mrs Fat Frank left The One Show for a bigger payday at ITV the corporation replaced her overnight with an equally-vacuous clone from Wales

 

[Bob!]

I'd imagine Rylan Clark Neal would be likely to replace him, or Jermaine Jenas.

I was going to debate this, but it's crodo so I won't.

(Gary Davies though)

OJ Borg or Maya Jama two other lively contenders.

 

[papajaff]

Gary Davies please

 

[Frutos]

Is Popmaster moving with him?

Yes.

 

[Ludensian Gull]

That's me done with radio 2 during the day then. The 2-4 slot is already filled with crap dance tunes .

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

When Wogan returned to the morning show and followed by Bruce, sometimes I had to look at the watch to tell who it was.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I'd imagine Rylan Clark Neal would be likely to replace him, or Jermaine Jenas.

Alec Scott must be a SHOE in, Crodo, no?

 

[BLOCK F]

Don’t you know the one about an Irishman, a Scotsman and nobody else?

Radio 6 with Craig Charles 1-4 is my afternoon listening of choice

 

[severnside gull]

Gary Davies please

Nooooooo! He’s absolutely mind numbingly awful

 

[The Clamp]

I sometimes have him on in the background and I quite like Popmaster. My life won’t be affected much by his departure but I’ll certainly not bother with R2 if that irritating tit, Rylan gets the gig.

I imagine they will go with someone a bit more Daily Mail anyway.

 

[Official Old Man]

Wow, I thought he'd stay until he keeled over in his chair. Ooh Gary Davis or OJ Borg (latter being very very good and surprised another station hasn't grabbed him).
Quote from the BBC Trevor Nelson, Rylan Clark, Claudia Winkleman, Dermot O'Leary and Jo Whiley are among the names who could be considered for Bruce's slot.
The bad news for anyone thinking of following Ken to GHR is that they aren't up to the high production stadards of the Beeb. Playlist consists of about 50 songs, great for week one but by week 4 it gets repetative. Listening on DAB, Alexa or online you get two adverts running together or nothing at all and lots of gaps.

Me: *Hoping Jeremy Vine is the one who's leaving because he's an insufferable smug tosser*

Ken Bruce: "Oh you're one show out!"
