I completely agree with what the BBC is doing if you leave one job in an organization  to move to the same job in a rival organization it's not shocking to be asked to take some time off in between the two jobs

Exactly, and when you arrange to start one job the weekend after you finish the other in this industry it's to be expected your outgoing employer may have other ideas and prioritise protecting their product.    We also don't know how much advance notice the BBC had when he did quit - it seemed a bit off for GHR to immediately announced he was signing with them rather than giving it at least 24 hours.


I think had Ken been going to a different slot on GHR (say a weekend show) the BBC wouldn't have felt the need to protect their morning slot and kept him on air as long as possible.
