    KEN BRUCE .Thank you so much for making our lives better. Especially pop master I was lucky enough to get on your show in 2007 and really enjoyed talking with you. I scored 33 points and the other gentlemen got 27. It was fantastic. Thank you ken for everything 👏👏👏👏

    How can the BBC value Ken at less than half of what Zoe Ball is paid he’s got the most listened to show on Radio. I’m definitely switching to GHR. Ken you are a legend!

    This is from Oz mate. Enjoyed listening to you over several years. A good memory for me is the missus and myself burning through the Scottish Highlands listening to your show, bopping away to ‘Paradise’ … ie Coldplay. Just Brilliant! I’ve seen so many of your talented colleagues bombed out by the beeb. So much lost talent sadly. But that’s what todays crap and entertainment’s all about. It’s now up to your past loyal listeners to move on from the the beeb and vote with their dial fingers. I will. Interesting to see where you end up …. Will follow you mate!!!

    He's taking popmaster (and probably all of his listeners) with him, so what happens to the guy the other week who got 36 and a 3 in 10? Does he go onto champions league in the new show or are BBC Radio 2 doing something new that he'll be part of? Curious to see what happens. Sad time for Radio 2 but I only tend to listen to his show (although enjoy listening to anything Ritchie does) and probably won't listen much more now :-(

    Tis a sad time for R2. I can't get on with Zoe Ball, which is a shame as i used to enjoy her saturday show, but she seems far too forced in her brightness these days. Vimes has gone abit weird with his antagonising questions rather than talk about newsworthy stuff. Scott Mills just isn't my cup of tea but Sara Cox just is a natural...she could've saved R2 if she'd have got that morning slot for me. We move on and as much as i don't get along with the new R2, good luck to them all.

    Like Steve Wright i will be following him to GHR i know he has been polite regarding the BBC thats the measure of the man but Radio 2 has had its day its after the younger audience who in truth do not use radio the same way as older people. It appears to those of us outside the BBC that ageism is rife in the organisation which i thought was illegal but hey they are the BBC they can do what they want with tax payers money.
