What a shame it has come to this. The #radio2 bosses seem intent on destroying radio 2. So sad that #simonmayo is leaving radio 2. All they had to do was admit the new drive time was a mistake, or perhaps leave it alone in the first place. #wetoldyouso
@BBCRadio2@bbcpress Lord Hall and James Purnell. Hang your heads in shame. What a way to treat your members of staff and loyal listeners. You mucked it up and stayed silent. Get someone in that’s cares about the job. #bringbackdrivetime
By the way .@BBCRadio2 , an entire segment on the Jeremy Vine show this afternoon was built around a couple who had discovered R2 through Simon Mayo. Just saying... #shameful#drivetime#sorrow
@simonmayo Can't imagine it's been much quieter for you under the circumstances but really wishing you well and really, really hoping to hear you on a similar radio show sometime soon (because you're my kitchen friend whether you like it or not!)
So after @BBCRadio2 ruinous decision to ‘revamp’ #drivetime Simon Mayo has left, Jo Whiley pretty much gets her old slot back and we’re left with a vacant 5-7 slot that Simon looked after so brilliantly and the listeners loved?
A dark and sad day for @BBCRadio2 when they force out their best presenter @siminmayo, who was put in an untenable position. #lewiscarnie should be fired for making such a momentous mistake. The beginning of the end of Radio 2.
Hey #lewiscarnie .@BobShennan when will you apologise for the patronising letters you sent to upset #drivetime fans?You've been condescending & dishonest & forced Mayo out (he didn't plan to leave 6 months ago).Your #shameful response made fans frustrated & increasingly critical
@simonmayo That's fantastic news. If you are going over there, try and get over to Tassie, I used to live there (see pic) and it's stunning. Wineglass Bay, Launceston, Batman Bridge, Rosevears, Hobart but most of all, from a history lover - Port Arthur. Miss you already 😥
@simonmayo Simon, I (we) are heartbroken to be losing you on Drivetime. Unbelievably cross about the treatment you've received but understand your decision as, understandably, you couldn't really keep slipping laxatives in her coffee. You will be hugely missed. ❤️
