I have it on good authority (my partner’s family member works at the BBC) that Richie Anderson, the annoying traffic guy, is in with a shout of replacing the legendary Ken Bruce.
Strange, no?
Not a front runner, but he’s definitely on the shortlist, as well as Gary Davies, Rylan Clark, Shaun Keaveny and Liza Tarbuck. But OJ Borg is favourite. More or less a shoo-in, I’m told. Might want get down the bookies.
Can't find any recent odds, looks like they have stopped taking bets.
I stopped listening to that station all day years ago but I would put Steve Wright in the afternoon if I was in the car, even if he annoyingly talks over the end of songs. Not any more.
Ken Bruce was okay and I liked Popmaster. I listen to R6 all day now, Shaun Keaveny was on there for years - I thought he was pretty good.
Shaun would be my choice. Heard him once or twice when he stood in for Liza.
But as I said yesterday, Radio 2 has seriously lost Its way, and is sadly,
and is sadly lacking in quality.
