Ken Bruce

[Ursaminor]

Consummate professional, handles all the pop master contestants smoothly, so gentle with Susan Boyle - but he really can't stand Jeremy Vine can he!

Love him!

Ken Bruce fan club here
He’s fab.

Have listened to him since he was on Radio Scotland way back in the 80's. Will be very sad when he eventually retires.

I love Ken, I really love Popmaster! It's never as good when there's a stand it (unless it's Rob Bryden doing his Ken impression).

He's the best thing about radio 2.
He does have quite a lot of banter with the traffic reporters and JV, I honestly hadn't thought he didn't like him.
I miss his chat with Lynn Bowles too, though he is getting along well with Ritchie.
On the other hand, can't stand Steve "great show" Wright, time he was let go.

Yes - he makes it seem easy, but the stand in people always seem to get in a fankle!

Ken is fab and I rather admire the way he always takes half term etc off, on holiday so you know when not to bother tuning in.

Ken is such a gentleman and total professional, clever and witty, really love his show, I can't say I have been impressed by Susan Boyle before, however listening to her today live from the 'Piano Room', wow!, she is so good, lovely voice, sent shivers down my spine

Don't like Ken, never have, but given the choice of him or Steve Wright, I'd choose Ken every time.

Love the JV show, when it's Vanessa doing it, she's so much better than he is.

I've sadly moved away from R2 now, I channel flick in the car and use Alexa at home.

I have always thought KB doesn't like JV. There's something about their chat at 11.30 that sounds weird to me

I love ken and can't bear Jeremy vine. He makes me sneer at the radio. So false. And wth is he doing in his trailers??? My insides just cringe

I luffs Ken. I will countenance no criticism of him at all..

I love Ken Bruce. Seems such a nice man. Have you seen him on Pointless Celebrities?

Nothing is as bad as Tony Blackburn handing over to Dermot O'Leary. It's painful to listen too, they just don't get each other in any way.

Love Ken with the new traffic guy but I still miss Lynn.

I’ve never understood the love for Ken Bruce. He has no personality at all as far as I can tell. It’s all mindless droning, no wit or humour. I switch over as soon as I hear him!

When I'm home I listen to KB. I very occasionally listen to JV but the little Englander fanclub thing he has going makes my blood pressure go up.
KB is just a nice gentle soul.

I've retuned to Ken Bruce a few times recently and I'm so enjoying it, it clashes with the mid morning show on our local BBC station though and I enjoy that one too.

Richie Anderson has a Saturday morning show on BBC WM which is always a good listen.

I like KB, but like others I do miss Lynn Bowles. I cannot abide Steve Wright especially when he does that stupid ‘jockin’ with no g. 😬

I've not had a chance to listen to him in a while but I think he's great.

I love Ken Bruce! I've never really thought about whether he likes JV or not, so it's not something I've picked up on.

Agree with PP that Vanessa is the better host though and Steve Wright must know where some bodies are buried because I can't understand how he's still on air. Whenever these threads pop up, they're almost universal in their loathing of SW.

I really enjoy listening to both KB and JV but it's funny as I've wondered if Ken wasn't Jeremy's greatest fan too!!

or may be vice versa

Another Ken Bruce fan here! I'm going to be listening tomorrow to pick up on any tension now lol.

Always turn over to ken once the breakfast show is done!

I don't mind JV But prefer Vanessa when she stands in and I'm surprised I quite liked Amol last week. I wasn't expecting to!

And wth is he doing in his trailers??? My insides just cringe

If it's the ones I'm thinking of they're actually someone doing a (very good) impression of him.

somebody please get rid of Steve Wanker Wright and all of his hangers on

but please keep Ken
