Paul O’Grady has quit his BBC Radio 2 show after station bosses made him share his Sunday afternoon slot with another presenter as part of a push to attract younger listeners.
The comedian, 67, has hosted a Sunday afternoon programme on the UK’s most popular radio station for the last 14 years. But in February he was forced to give up half of his shows and share the time slot with 36-year-old comedian Rob Beckett – with the men swapping presenting duties every three months.
