I was in my 30's when I started listening to radio 2, so I assume they're trying to attract that audience. I'm not sure where it leaves us who are in their 50's and 60's as to what to listen to.

It's a shame as we all grew up listening and watching the BBC, Top of the Pops, Radio 1. Where do we go now?

Greatest hits radio is ok but I can do a 10 minutes commute and not even have listened to any music, which is annoying.

I agree, and I am glad he is taking pop master with him.

Jeremy Vine has totally lost the plot, he is supposed to be running a debate show and plays more crap music than debate.

I only tune in now to listen to Ken Bruce, once Ken leaves, I can honestly say i will never listen to Radio 2 again.

I prefer the debate on Radio Scotland, so it will be Ken Bruce on Greatest Hits Radio in the morning and then switching channel to Radio Scotland mid day for News and debate.

Welcome

You might start noticing the same records going round on rotation and the adverts can get annoying, but basically it's the same banter and the audience keeps increasing.

Greatest Hits Radio also has Jackie Brambles, Pat Sharp, Paul Gambaccini, Andy Crane and Mark Goodier on the books.

Although Ken is replacing Mark......

I'd say those running radio 2 don't have a clue but it goes further than that. The whole bbcis in danger of making the service an irrelevance as they've lost what most people want.

If commercial radio stations want the presenters then there is a large audience for the person so dropping the older market seems stupid. There ar more of us and we don't all like classical or radio 4.

2nd big issue is publicising wages. The clever ones use personal companies to avoid the list. The other tied to the bbc have to suffer the stress and pressure of it. It may be out money but the government needs to realise this sort of reporting is flawed.

I think of it a bit like children's television. Kids grow out of it but it also becomes less relevant to its new audience unless it adapts and changes. I can't imagine what today's 4 year olds would make of The Woodentops

"How come Zoe Ball never does time checks, for a breakfast show, I need this, so I can keep track of the time.

Time checks are going because they are only acute if on FM

If you put a FM radio on an Internet radio there can be a big difference.

If they’re acute on FM does that mean they’re obtuse on the internet?"

Yes could be well out of time and people now also listen on BBC Sounds as a catch up.

It is possible!

A dung beetle can polish one off, if it's really hungry, or the poo is really small!

Coprolite is fossilised dinosaur poo, so this and other stone this can be polished/varnished and buffed to a glossy finish.

I am glad he is going, he is going to a better station and well away from the bbc, Zoe Ball, Rylan the ponce, Sara Cox, OJ Borg and everyone else that now makes the station absolute crap

the only decent presenter left is Johnny Walker.

correct, radio2 is full of wokes now, the only 2 decent presenters after Ken goes are both Johnny Walker and Bob Harris

Sadly Bob Harris is standing in for Johnny Walker right now as Johnny Walker is receiving treatment for a heart condition

I've already switched to Greatest Hits. When Ken joins on April 3rd it will be like the old Radio 2. Simon Mayo is there with his old Drive time show. They just need to entice Steve Wright and it will be the good old days.

He always sounds like he's taking the piss out of people.

I'll miss KB, but not mourning the loss of Mayo and Wright! Both felt like they'd had their day, to my ear anyway. If I never hear about DJ Silly Boy again it'll be too soon.

"Anyone else really sad he’s leaving Radio 2? Popmaster is my favourite

Gutted he is leaving its already not the same without Steve Wright...only the ball and Jeremy vine left now

Steve Wright is the pits! So out of date. If he had the listening figures they wouldn’t have got rid of him

Radio 2 is now a woke station for woke listeners

Still you can all tune in and listen to Rylan have a pathetic telephone conversation with his mum.
