Ken Bruce and his PopMaster quiz radio show on BBC Radio Two have kept many listeners company every weekday morning. Throughout health pandemics, a cost of living crisis and everyday life Ken has always been there for many listeners, and so his fans were emotional during his final show on Friday, March 3 which saw him make his exit speech and play his last song.
The 72-year-old is leaving BBC Radio Two after more than 31 years of presenting the mid-morning show, although he has worked at the BBC since 1978. Ken announced he was leaving the show back in January, telling listeners it was "time for a change".
He said: "It's been a tremendously happy time for me: I've made many friends and worked with many wonderful colleagues. However, I feel that after 45 years of full-time broadcasting on BBC Radio it's time for a change." The radio presenter will be moving to Greatest Hits Radio, which he will join on Monday, April 3.
