Also a thing that I think has helped a lot in this instance is that his fans from over on Radio 1 have followed him over. So whatever depletion of listenership that occurred when they - the eternal naysayers and doommongers that I proverbially bang my head against an imaginary wall at - said "that's it I'm off" doesn't seem to have come to pass.

As I have have said over on the Blue Bird Place when responding to this and I quote:


But the next litmus test will be Ken Bruce & Vernon Kay come August 3rd when the next set of figures are due out.

I'd already say Vernon is the best host on the station from what I've heard so far - though helps he's replaced Gary rather than Ken directly.   He even seems to make Ten to the Top work.

Also given that last week (May 8th-12th) Davies had Kay on for his Tracks Of My Years. A radio baton it seems to have been passed on more naturally than most at least.
