The announcement on Radio 2 was made by newsreader, Mike Powell, mid-way during the 5pm bulletin, his voice clearly shaking.
Sara Cox came straight off the back of the bulletin, with no jingles/idents, also sounding shaken. She said they'd be playing some of his favourite songs, the first of which was Wichita Lineman by Glenn Campbell (the outro of which he used to play as a closing theme at the end of his Radio 1 afternoon show every day).
Really shocking news, very unexpected, and certainly a difficult time for everyone at Radio 2.
