BBC Radio 2 legend Ken Bruce to leave show after 31 years

Ken Bruce is leaving BBC Radio 2 in March after 31 years of presenting the mid-morning weekday show, the BBC has announced.

The legendary broadcaster - who presents the hugely popular 9.30am to midday show on the station - said it was 'time for a change' as he announced his departure. The 71-year-old will leave the show in March.

He will join Greatest Hits Radio in April, presenting a show from 10am to 1pm on the Bauer radio station, alongside presenters including Simon Mayo at Drivetime and Jackie Brambles in the early evening.
