It’s been announced that Ken Bruce is leaving Radio 2. Some people might see that as good news but quite a few of us of a certain age might find that as the last straw to listen to a BBC radio station.
If I do a bit of work and the general consensus amongst people is to put Radio 2 on, it covers all angles but in recent times has become increasingly like Radio 1 1/2 with the music played and the dj’s they’re appointing.
The BBC which has numerous radio stations but doesn’t have one to cater for us over 50s (60 in my case) who want to listen to popular good music from yesteryear anymore which Radio 2 use to cover. I want a station that will play Since You’ve Been Gone by Rainbow, After The Love Has Gone by Earth Wind.& Fire, Your Latest Trick by Dire Straits etc. A variety of genres of music from yesteryear. Some people might say BBC 6 Music but it’s not the sort of light entertainment to keep everyone happy.
I know it was Ken’s choice to leave but he did it before he was pushed.
Another big fail by the BBC imho
