Ken Bruce on leaving the BBC<\/h3>\n

It looks as though BBC Radio 2 has suffered a major blow since Vernon Kay took over from Ken Bruce\u2019s regular slot.<\/p>\n

The 49-year-old was handed the reigns back in May this year after Ken decided to leave the broadcaster after 30 years and move to Greatest Hits Radio.<\/p>\n

According to radio rating body Rajar, Vernon\u2019s show is still pulling in big figures with 6.9 million people listening in.<\/p>\n
