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

[Is it PotG?]

The day we've all been dreading, has finally arrived. Tissues at the ready.

 

[Official Old Man]

So, what will be his final song I wonder?

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

And the first contestant on the last R2 popmaster scores a massive 3 points

I got 6 & 12, so nothing new there...

Loved the Wogan reference about having a drink after song nine.

The BBC commentary team at Eurovision always do a toast to Terry after song nine as he used to say that was the point by which he was drunk each year.

Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight / The End - The Beatles.

Apt.

"And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make"

 

[Weststander]

His fitting farewell song. Thanks KB, what a classy operator, it's emotional.

Radio 2 now done and dusted for me...

 

[Weststander]

Reaches for change station button - Vine's here with his shite stirring, designed deliberately to raise blood pressures.

What a contrast.

Well quite.

Not everything in life has to lead to anger and division.

KB showed that there's still a place and reason for people to just try and get along with each other.

It's not just me. The brilliant Tony Livesey has mentioned more than once (to paraphrase), that unlike others his idea of radio broadcasting is not to raise hackles .... life's difficult enough as it is. Something he does with aplomb.

I still enjoy Jo Whiley’s show in the evenings but other than that it’s a full switch over to R4 and R6 for me.

I cannot abide that lad they’ve got in to replace KB.

They're both amazing.

I do also love R5's Nicky Campbell phone-ins 9 til 11 each weekday, depending on the subject. He's an amazing guy eg in dealing with mental health, child abuse.

I like him but not heard his show. I was reading an interview with the daughter of the teacher that abused Nicky Campbell. Needless to say she was devastated. And had an horrific upbringing herself.

R4 has been a reassuring constant for me, for years.
I genuinely think if all other stations or forms of entertainment/ media were to disappear tomorrow, I’d get all I need from R4 and R6.

I also like KEXP, a Seattle based radio station that plays brilliant music.
In fact KEXP is a something of an institution in North America. Very well regarded.

New quiz being tried out today, Zoe Ball the guinea pig....coming up

Then back to 6 Music.

 

[Icy Gull]

Gary Davies is much too beige for me but I am giving him and his new game a chance!

 

[Is it PotG?]

User yer bloody Joker man.

He really is a wet weed.
I don’t know how he gets so much work in the media, there are plenty who could do a better job than him.

Especially as I don’t know anyone who thinks he’s anything but a shit stirring dickhead!
