Like Radio 2 in general, Bruce reminds me of AC KVIL Dallas in its ’80s Ron Chapman heyday that station was the essence of personality-through-brushstrokes in a way that sometimes seemed to be nothing special, especially when all of mainstream music radio was similarly structured.Ĭridland notes that Radio 2 is a franchise that has already survived the recent departure of several high-profile personalities, including Greatest Hits co-worker Simon Mayo. Cridland describes the 71-year-old Bruce, who was making nearly 500,000 USD a year on Radio 2, as “amiable, quick witted,” and agreeable, but not galvanizing. He also covered the day-of excitement, which included a feature story on BBC-1 TV, and followed up with this after Bruce’s first half-hour. James Cridland wrote a good summary of Bruce’s career in January, after the move was announced. He moved to Bauer’s fast-growing national network, which has brought Classic Hits on FMs to numerous markets, including London, over the last five years. Bruce came from 37 years at the UK’s non-commercial behemoth, which is still practicing full-service AC in a way long forgotten here.
