Ken Bruce on 13:02 - Jan 17 with 2846 views | Vincent_Vega | I'm gutted, loved Ken on R2. The office stops for Popmaster. By the looks its for the Money as he's going to greatest hits and taking Popmaster with him. Replacement is the drummer weather man from Ammanford so see how that pans out following a 8.5million audience. | ![](/images/avatars/8969.gif) |

The three shows I listened to on Radio 2 were Simon Mayo, Steve Wright and Ken Bruce. Mayo went, I gave it a couple of weeks then gave up, the same with Steve Wright. I can't see me listening to Radio 2 after April. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I don't know what they're thinking. Chris Evans was a bit marmite but Zoe Ball cant get near him. Bruce I understand you can't go on forever but that Owain lad, really? Vine is Vine, Scott Mills I like but he's toned down a LOT since R1 and I didn't think he needed to do that (a little bit yeah of course) but he's only on for 2 hours. Coxy's alright but no Simon Mayo Looks like after desamiting R1 its turned it's attention to R2. | ![](/images/avatars/8969.gif) |

There are so many radio stations now they should be trying to ease gently not bring a totally different type of presenting. They had no choice with Bruce I think his contract was up and he jumped before he was pushed. I read his autobiography, a fantastic read and it seems the type of thing he would do. But his replacement seems rather bizarre albeit ticking the boxes. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

yeah I bet he could see the way the wind was blowing with the future of the station, I'll give the new guy a fair shot but I can see the beeb losing listeners hand over fist. The market is flooded now with commercial Radio offering big contracts to these established presenters and good luck to them. I still have Moyles on RadioX as an alarm clock even though its not the same but it I knew it wouldn't be. I'm waiting for a station to take a punt on bringing Mark and Lard back then you will be bailing! | ![](/images/avatars/8969.gif) |

Ken Bruce was on dodgy ground a few years ago with talk of him being replaced but managed to ride out the storm, the BBC weren't loyal to some other presenters so maybe the writing was on the wall for him now. Good luck to him, at 71 he obviously enjoys his work . I was an avid listener to Radio 2 travelling around the country starting with Wogan ( janet & John classic comedy ) then Bruce ,onto and indifferent to Vine (who comes across as a bit of an ++++wipe ) then Steve Wright , now I rarely listen to it ,more like the World service and Radio 4 extra . Agree with Mark & Lard , great listening along with Craig Charles on radio 6 | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Looks that way, Wogan was class to be fair. Vine has a premise of a good show its just he comes out with these ridiculous comments and I'm 'just eff off is it you wew!' guess its those comments that get people phoning in. I always enjoyed Wright another one who was on the beeb for years, sh!t on from a great height as they all have. I always said part of the reason of the license fee is the radio but to be honest they seem hellbent on killing that off so might as well privatize the lot the way its going. | ![](/images/avatars/8969.gif) |
