    He’s just announced this on air . It’s his last fortnight. He doesn’t sound thrilled about it.

      Are you in shock anton?

      I wonder if he’s been poached by Cfm or Scala?

      Obviously yes anton, guess this is worse than when the Hangers were relegated - at least you were expecting that!

          No not poached he hinted that he has been offered other stuff within R3 ....
          It sounds like relegation

              Indeed, me and MrsBBM’s too! We not too keen on Suzy Klein at all. She seems to talk down to you, as if you’re at school, and she’s the teacher! Another good one gone!

                    I’ve heard he brews an excellent pot of ‘Yorkshire Gold’. With any luck he’ll take over the weekend Breakfast progs but maybe thats too much to hope for.

                    I think they’ve made an Essentially wrong decision in which presenter to change. Is Ian’s replacement Jorja Smith or Celeste?

                      Yes, I can't listen to S.Klein. So that's no radio 3 from 9-12 for me. Used to be the best slot of all. Thank God for Spotify.

                        Well Room 101 had its origin in Broadcasting House....

                        I'm not a regular EC listener, but Skellers is definitely my preferred presenter. I didn't hear his announcement clearly - busy in an adjacent room to the radio - but it sounded like there was a revamping of mornings on R3 coming...?

                            No, has to be a man. BBC is an Equal Opportunities Employer - man one week/fortnight, woman the next, or both together every week. Anyone leaving Classic FM? Unless SK is going too - then we/you may think back nostalgically about how it was so good when she was presenting.
                            It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
