I’ve been wfh all week and miss it so much too
My god, the 1st quizzer with Ken was annoying, non-stop chatter, squealing & giggling.
Wonder what's going on with Steve Wright, he's not on Sunday Love Songs again this week, rumours were 'The Big Show' going to Greatest Hits Radio, but it's gone quiet.
Bob Harris does Sounds of The 70's as Johnnie is away all month.

I really wish Zoe ‘thank you gorgeous’ Ball joins in on the mass exodus.
Can’t think who will replace Ken. Massive shoes to fill.

KB is going in March. whaaaat?
Tbh I could see this coming. After they got rid of wrighty the writing was on the wall
Sad day, I think my radio 2 listening is now over.
Ken is joining Greatest Hits Radio, with a 10am-1pm show.

Gutted about Ken. Listening to him on R2 was something me and my late dad always did together. End of an era. Apart from Liza on a Saturday there’s nothing to keep me on R2 anymore.
Greatest Hits Radio will now have Mark Goodier, Jakki Brambles, Simon Mayo, Ken Bruce......and could Steve Wright end up there too? 
Not forgetting Richard Allinson, Paul Gambaccini who also have shows on GHR.
Shocking what radio 2 bosses have done to the station recently, only Liza, Paul Gambo, Johnnie W & Tony Blackburn are left & worth listening to, on weekends only now.
There's a list of talent as long as your arm that bbc have got rid of, from G Norton to Ken now.

I know he said it's totally his decision but if that's true what the hell is going on at Radio 2?! If you were close to retiring would you not prefer to stay where you've build your career and have a large, loyal audience instead of starting somewhere new? It makes me think is there something wrong with the culture there if it's not about contract or money.
I honestly hope radio 2 loses millions of listeners.
Just been reading that Ken takes PopMaster with him to his new show

Lots said when Steve Wright left that if Ken Bruce left, listeners would leave in their droves! I have R2 on in the office during the day but my mornings start with Chris Evans on Virgin and Graham Norton at the weekends. Saturdays I only listen to Rylan.
Be interesting who will fill the spot - will it go to another female presenter as we all know the BBC like to be so woke! I'd love Gary Davies to take it on.

I hope Gary Davies gets the slot but again I have a feeling Vernon kay will. I thought he’d replace Steve wright
I bet Richie Anderson has his eyes on Ken's old slot 
Probably tbh. The bbc are pushing him on us, look at strictly (which tbf I thought he was good and went out too early)I bet Richie Anderson has his eyes on Ken's old slot
Oh god. I don't mind Richie but I couldn't cope with him for a full show. Don't like Vernon. Hope it's Gary Davies.I bet Richie Anderson has his eyes on Ken's old slot
Wouldn't surprise if Richie got it, he's stood in for Sara Cox before & gets the odd Bank Holiday show too.
Glad to hear that. Have any RAJAR figures come out since SW’s departure?I honestly hope radio 2 loses millions of listeners.

The public didn’t like him. But the BBC seem tone deaf to that hence the foisting of him.
No expert but I think the listening figures get released much later this year.
Steve Wright was on about 7m per week
Ken Bruce nearly 9m per week.
The controller Helen Roberts seems determined to kill the station.
Gutted Ken is leaving. Wish either Tony Blackburn or Steve Wright could take this slot.
I will stick with Boom radio til then.
