So sad. She was a great broadcaster. I'm another one who stopped listening after she was bullied out of WH for her views.

A real loss.

Fantastic woman.I too stopped listening to Woman's hour after she left. Tried a couple of times but nah!

MassiveWordSalad · 20/03/2026 20:28

Rest in peace Jenni.

ArmchairSuccubus · 20/03/2026 20:21

Oh that is so sad.

daffydreams · 20/03/2026 20:21

jenni wrote so much & honestly on her weight struggles,

As a woman obviously her worth was measured in how slim she was,

she willl be missed

Very sad to hear this news about the marvellous Jenni Murray today. I'm another one who stopped listening to Woman's Hour after she left.

RIP Jenni. A good steadfast woman with no nonsense about her. I too wish she could have lived to see herself fully vindicated by history.

(Edit: Spelling.)

RhymesWithOrange · 20/03/2026 20:08

Oh how sad. She was fabulous ❤️

Supporterofwomensrights · 20/03/2026 20:06

Really sorry to hear this. She has a legacy to be proud of.

O that's very sad. Lovely Jenni. For years and years she was one of those people who almost feel like part of the household as they chat away to you in the kitchen.

I wish she had lived long enough to have been fully uncancelled.

This sums up exactly how it feels. RIP Jenni.

Very sad to hear this. Rest in peace Jenni.

Mcdhotchoc · 20/03/2026 19:57

I adored her. RIP

Former BBC Woman's Hour presenter Dame Jenni Murray dies at 75 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpwj8e25ddgo

Tbh "women's hour" is crap without her, worst move the barmy BBC ever made, just to please the dudes in frocks who infest it. I no longer listen to it.

BG2015 · 20/03/2026 19:54

Ahhh that's so sad. I'm currently listening to historical episodes of Woman's Hour when my menopausal brain wakes me up at 3am. She and Jane Garvey are my current night time companions . Such a gentle soul.

Shortshriftandlethal · 20/03/2026 19:54

I note the BBC saw fit to mention she was cancelled for " comments she made about transgender people"; whereas no other media source I've seen has thought that a priority to mention.

Since she left Women's Hour it has gone downhill fast...I can hardly bring myself to listen to it now. It is now more about pandering to political correctness than in centring women.

DeeplyMovingExperience · 20/03/2026 19:52

Sad news and maddening that the BBC has of course swerved the reason why she left Women's Hour.

I was particularly struck by this gem from the BBC's news item -

"She worked on BBC Two's Newsnight and Radio 4's Today programme before taking over from Sue MacGregor on Woman's Hour, which is dedicated to "women's voices and women's lives".

Although of course nowadays like this week the voice might be that of a larping man.

testmatchspecial · 20/03/2026 19:48

I was really sad to hear this on the news.

TheLadyofMisrule · 20/03/2026 19:42

RIP, Jenni and thank you. I stopped listening to WH after she left.

Very sad. Woman’s Hour really went downhill after she left.

Emma Barnett was pretty good but it's gone downhill since. Anita is awful, she can barely get her words out most days. No idea why she is a regular.

Nuala is ok, took some getting used to and still ridiculous on trans issues, but I have grown to like her.

RaininSummer · 20/03/2026 19:39

RIP Jenni. Woman's hour was never as good once she left.

ExitPursuedByABare · 20/03/2026 19:39

Truly shocked and sad when I heard this.

WH never recovered from her ‘leaving’.

RIP Jenni. You will be missed. And thank you for standing up for women. 💐

Dollymylove · 20/03/2026 19:37

Ah no way I loved her Daily Mail column
Rest in peace Jenni ❤️

ExOptimist · 20/03/2026 19:37

She was an excellent broadcaster. I used to listen most days when she was presenting, the programme has never been the same since she left and I can't stand any of the presenters who have been on since, so I've stopped listening. She was a serious, intelligent presenter and unafraid to voice her opinions.

MeanMrMustardSeed · 20/03/2026 19:36

Well-known people’s deaths rarely bother me, but I am absolutely gutted about this. The world definitely feels like a less sensible place without her. RIP
