Ken Bruce has said he intended to see out his contract with Radio 2, but claims the BBC wanted him off air sooner. The legendary DJ's contract was initially supposed to run until the end of March, but his final show will be on Friday March 3.
However, his contract was initially due to finish at the end of March.‘I will be presenting my last show on Radio 2 next Friday,’ he tweeted.‘I had intended fulfilling my contract until the end of March but the BBC has decided it wants me to leave earlier. Let’s enjoy the week ahead!’: ‘Ken decided to leave Radio 2 and it’s always been known he’s leaving in March. Returning to Wogan House for a week after a month of broadcasting the Piano Room sessions at Maida Vale provided a natural break.
His departure follows a number of high-profile exits and reshuffling at BBC Radio recently, including Scott Mills leaving BBC Radio 1 after 24 years at the network to join Radio 2 for a new weekday show.Mills took over the 2-4pm slot from presenter Steve Wright, who stepped down from his afternoon show at the end of September after 23 years. Wright continues to present his Radio 2 Sunday Love Songs programme as well as specials on the station.
