Ken Bruce celebrates one-year on Greatest Hits Radio with a special show live ... trends now
On what makes radio broadcasting special...
It's the anonymity, the ability to just be one part of yourself and communicate only in one way with someone who's just listening to you, it's a very direct communication. That's the thing that appeals most.
On the secret to his popularity...
If I knew that, I would've done it a lot earlier than this. I don't think you can ever analyse why something is popular. It becomes popular without you noticing or trying, and the more you try the less it will happen. A good relationship between broadcaster and listener is just something that grows and develops naturally.
On what he finds most difficult...
Getting up in the morning. Once I'm up and heading to work I'm fine. I'm on air at 9.30, finish at 10 and I've often said I feel better at the end of a programme than I did at the beginning. I'm sorry that it's finished.
On how he'll end the show...
It'll just be a quick goodbye, I will not be tugging at heartstrings, mainly because I don't want to tug at my own. I'll just be saying that's the end of this particular era of my life, but there'll be a continuation. I love daily broadcasting, it's what I've done for years and years. I've been on BBC
