Boomer FM? Seriously? He’s going to GHR.
It’s obvious that he went before he was pushed.
As much as I love Ken, I can see why they've cut his notice period short - it's a weird situation with him doing loads of press for his new station whilst still presenting on radio 2. The bbc probably should have let him know earlier, but maybe they thought there would be more of a grace period before he was announced as a presenter somewhere else
The BBC don't seem to be very good at letting people go in general though, but tbf, Ken chose to quit and he has a shiny new job for more probably way more money so I'm sure he'll be absolutely fine

I’m right there with you! Fell in love with Antoine way back in the Rapido days and still madly in love with him to this day. He’s aged very well!
The Beeb seem to be trying to heard their radio demographics God knows where. 6 Music definitely don’t appear to want their loyal listenership most of the time.
Rapido! Theres a blast from the past! I had rather a crush on Antoine too.I’m right there with you! Fell in love with Antoine way back in the Rapido days and still madly in love with him to this day. He’s aged very well!
Oh dear,the days of the lovely David Jacobs has truly gone.
I actually don’t mind Vernon Kaye as a presenter and he’s good when he stands in for Zoe Ball. It could have been a lot worse, but if they’re really chasing a younger audience choosing a 48 year old doesn’t make much sense.
I don’t think they are chasing a much younger audience. It’s clear they are after those who are outgrowing radio 1 and are used to presenters they grew up with there, Zoe, Scott, Jo and now Vernon have all come across as familiar names and voices who invoke a bit of nostalgia. Essentially humans like the familiar
Ahh ageism rife as ever
I also had a thing for Antoine de Caunes back in the Eurotrash days - although I think I was far too young to watch it!
Im still hoping it is Tom

I used to love Jean Paul Gaultier on it too, Eurotrash was great. Loved Rapido. Ahh the 90s
I can see the logic in the radio 2 changes over the long term, but the 6music ones baffle me a bit. I love the music but getting rid of most of their funny, entertaining presenters has made it a bit boring and pretentious now
I used to turn Steve off,I found him cringey. I didn’t expect to like Scott as much as I do. He seems to have settled into it moreI must be one of the few people not sorry to see the back of both Sue Barker and Steve Wright. I love my tennis and watch Wimbledon religiously every year but despite of Sue Barker not because of her. She won’t be missed in my house (even if that does put me at risk of incurring the wrath of Cliff!). And Steve Wright’s show was just sounding really old to me, it had lost its shine. I’m actually loving Scott Mills in that slot, he’s making my work afternoons much more fun.
I will riot if Huw and Clive go anywhere though!
Or something out if We Didn't Start The Fire.
And he should sign off his last show with "go duck yourself San Diego", a-la Ron Burgundy
don’t forget Sara and Chris Evans, although he’s moved on again
I really hope Chris Moyles doesn’t appear on Radio 2. He was the reason I switched over.
I don’t mind Vernon but one of the things I like about Ken is his musical knowledge. They seem to want personalities rather than music experts
There’s so much talk now - all very earnest as well. Interviews. Listener engagement. For a music based station they don’t half read out a lot of Tweets from listeners. And they say BBC Radio 6 music a lot and BBC Sounds. Obsessed with branding.
I don’t love the music they’re championing these days - but at least I am aware of new stuff to have an opinion I suppose. This year’s festival is so light it’s lol.
I'm so in that q too, I've just had a lusty goog of him to remind me of his cuteness and my ovaries kicked into action pronto, what is it about him, the eyes very cheeky, clever, the accent, wears a good cut of the jib, ooohhh my, quite the silver fox now, bet that beard tickles
