Ken Bruce to leave Radio 2

[Tuearts right boot]

Unfortunately I have to listen to Radio 2 at work. How does that traffic bloke get away with doing sod all. 7am to 12 am reading out 30 seconds worth of pointless traffic jams every hour? Bet he gets paid shed loads as well.

Is that the mincing Brummie, star of anything with the word ' celebrity ' in it.

Friday dinner time will be the last time I purposely listen to Radio 2.
The station has turned into a 30something's hen party, with shows "presented" by chatterboxs, who have very little music knowledge (with the exception of Gambaccini, Harris and Walker..... but I don't listen to radio at weekends).
What is the point of Zoe Ball and that talentless wanker she promotes at every possible opportunity?
Scott Mills. God help us.
Sara Cox. The daft northerner act has worn thinner than Co-op bacon.
Vernon Kay. Just a bloke shouting, after he's taken a dodgy tablet.

If you want to listen to nasaly bitches who whine on about their boyfriend still seeing his ex, then R2 is your friend, because that's 50% of their playlists.

RIP BBC R2

Yes.

Agree with all that. It is absolutely shocking inane drivel all day long. In the old days the djs actually had a great knowledge of music they played and weren't just celebrities brought in. I can't see the likes of Kay playing the Ozark Mountain Daredevils somehow ! Listened to Winkelman for about 5 mins sat morning and she just crapped on about nothing in particular. Had to turn off ! Ken was the only one worth bothering with.

Apart from his pop quiz thing I never got Ken Bruce, just a characterless DJ imo. I switched off because of that, Zoe ' the teenager ' Ball with her sycophant traffic warden and Jeremy ' the doom monger ' Vine. The others I could take with a pinch of salt. Nearly forgot after reading the above post.....Fucking Winkleman and her endless prattling on about Strictly come Dancing, another bona fide reason. Oh and that woman Felz when no one else will fill in.

I moved from listening to Radio 1, because the music played wasn’t what I wanted, to radio 2, in 2012, I also realised that the DJ’s were getting on my nerves - I liked Chris Moyles, but when he left that was it.
So Radio 2… all good except Vine…and then as they themselves got older, the radio 1 DJ’s I didn’t like all migrated to Radio 2… so I’ve had to look again for something to listen to in the car.. and came across XS Manchester (sadly only in GM area), very good, Manc DJ’s, my era music and not just the ‘hits’ (though bloody toploader gets played too often).
With the demise of Ken, I think radio2 might be off forever, like radio1 was…
But I do acknowledge I’m heading into FOC territory…

That's him.
How the fuck is he a celebrity.
If he wasn't gay he would be working in tesco.
And before any do gooders start I'm not against anyone who wants to drop anchor in poo Bay.
I'm just stating a fact

Scott Mills is a particular bug bear of mine. The embodiment of banality. A non-stop dispenser of self-reverential, mundane nonsense. He had Davina McColl on one day last November when I was driving back from Scotland. Jesus fucking Christ. Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain it was not……

The Ozarks cannot be allowed to die, although many of them have.
