I can imagine he was looking over his shoulder after the Steve Wright news from last year (which I'm not saying was incorrect to do.. it's totally correct that Radio 2 should be reinventing the lineup as time goes on).

Sounds like his contract is up in March, he told them he wouldn't be renewing and has taken the job at Greatest Hits. Basically saves him the hassle of them 'moving him on' & gives him a few more years on a daily show - which I can imagine will be more to his tastes with the 70s/80s/90s music.

I do wonder if the Steve Wright move would've happened had they known Ken would leave right now. Feels a little bit like choppy waters at Radio 2 having a new Early Breakfast, Mid Morning & Afternoon show launch within 6-9 months.
