Ken Bruce, 71, quit BBC amid fresh ageism storm as he follows raft of older stars out the door
THE BBC was at the centre of another ageism storm earlier tonight after Ken Bruce quit Radio 2 for a rival commercial broadcaster. The 71-year-old turned down a new contract after becoming concerned by the corporation’s drive for younger talent, The Sun can reveal. Following an exodus of older stars — all over 60 — the presenter will join Greatest Hits Radio in April, taking his cult quiz segment Popmaster with him.
