Thing is that this is just a repeat of what Radio 2 did 20 something years ago - it replaced the older DJs with younger ones. Out went the likes of Jimmy Young and John Dunn and Ed Stewart, and in came relative youngsters like Steve Wright, Jeremy Vine, Johnnie Walker Jonathan Ross and eventually Simon Mayo and Chris Evans.
Thing is that, for example, Steve Wright was 45 when he started his Radio 2 afternoon show, his replacement is almost 50
Zoe Ball was 48 when she took over Radio 2 Breakfast, Terry Wogan was 34 first time round.
Ken Bruce is 71, we don't know who's going to replace him yet (the BBC don't know either!) but Gary Davies must be favourite.... he's 65, Jo Whiley maybe, she's 57. Swap with Mark Goodier from GHR, he's 61
The audience being displaced by recent changes are those who wouldn't be listening had it not been for when the same thing happened before
