Would never have happened at the BBC?

Jovial Jock in trouble because his employers broke Ofcom rules.

Ah well at least hes not a paedophile

QuoteUnder Ofcom's rules, individual presenters are allowed to promote their personal political viewpoints so long as they demonstrate due impartiality and recognise the existence of alternative points of view. This allows the likes of LBC's James O'Brien and TalkTV's Piers Morgan to use their shows to broadcast strong views on politics.

fuck off lol

I don't feel strongly one way or the other about the push to force offenders to listen to victim statements, sounds a bit like a tabloidy punishment drive, I can't tell if Bauer are pushing for this on all stations, or just the greatest hits one, both seem strange positions and that seems more concerning than the thing they're specifically asking for.

I listened to the Brydon podcast and I've come to the conclusion that Bruce is a massive cunt. Just something "off" about him. All that jollity "heheh!" boils my piss.

I BAMLEM BUAER MEDIA

Yeah it was all very 'needless to say I had the last laugh' about the BBC.

At least it wasn't a reverse gang bang (whatever that is) with a three in ten.

I mean he left the BBC voluntarily (and out of greed) but seems to have allowed the narrative to grow that he was forced out. Problem is people like my aunt love Vernon Kay now, so he's definitely messed up.

Shame to read Ken Bruce is another paedophile. Hard to think of the children all decomposing miles underneath the ground in that tin mine.

pop monster. I heard he once had "three in ten"

Quote from: Jasha on July 17, 2023, 06:06:18 PMThought he was fucking a 16yr old but was one decimal place out

Ken Bruce - an absolute global rotter.

I heard he likes them Jimmy Young.

I assumed he left in part because Mayo had a chip on his shoulder about the Beeb and is poaching people for this, scala and his own podcasts.

Ken Bruce: Out of control

He's hardly messed up seeing as the BBC didn't want to trademark PopMaster with him and it's gone on tv and increased More4's viewing figures by 500% when it's on. He left R2 by choice and they asked him to leave early.

And 10 to the top is a fairly shit replacement. Even the theme tune is knock off.

Vernon Kay is good though. But hardly a massive change to what was there previously. Infinitely better than Scott Mills doing it though.

Nah that was the chemical brothers mate.

Face the Family was never the same after Robert Robinson stopped doing it.

Anyway, it raises the question that potentially some of the campaigns that were done by Esther Rantzen on That's Life, if replicated by a broadcaster nowadays would be judged as illegal by Ofcom? Obviously not the Get Britain Singing one because that was crap amongst other things.

Show gets taken over by Steve Bruce, relegated to Radio Three.

The thing I love about Ken Bruce is that his voice is a parody of itself.

Quote from: Jasha on July 17, 2023, 06:06:18 PMThought he was fucking a 16yr old but was one year out

I'm roughly six hours late to making that joke.

Ken Bruce lives in the next town along from where I grew up and the general consensus is that he's a nice old boy who always opens the town fete and does a lot for charity. 

Quote from: centristmelt on July 17, 2023, 06:23:34 PM...people like my aunt love Vernon Kay now,

A failure here that topples all our success.

Ken Bruce and Terry Wogan are like the Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel of DJs, in that it is really weird that the first person handing over to the person has an almost identical voice, even though that voice is quite distinctive.

I bet he does, the dirty old bollocks. I bet he fucking does.

I hated Popmaster because the prize was fucking shite and seemed like a complete waste of every cunts time, spend your whole life remembering things about Then Jericho and Joy Sarney and you get a fucking speaker or a badge well done hey congratulations you stupid cunt, here, arse hair from a man who respects fuck all

SHITMASTER
SHITMASTER
SHITMASTER

QuoteDoes Ken Bruce own a bus?

Ken owns a quarter* share in a vintage Routemaster bus. Two of the other members of the consortium are Alan Dedicoat (Voice Of The Balls) and Charles Nove, two of the Radio 2 newsreaders

*That's a third share surely? Unless the other two got got him sign up to owning 25% so they could always out-vote him. Maybe they've got his number too...
