Danny Baker's daily show axed.

BBC News - Danny Baker hits out after BBC axe radio show

I don't listen, not being a Londoner, but assuming it's only half as good as his Saturday morning slot, shame on you BBC.

 

[Marxo]

The BBC don't know what's good and what's crap. I'd like more Danny Baker, not less.

 

[mr sheen]

I suspect the problem is that he's not cheap, rather than not good or not popular.

 

[gripper stebson]

If it pays for another 24 episodes of Snog, Marry, Avoid then who can argue?

 

[beardy gull]

He is absolutely laying into the BBC on his show right now.
"I had cancer. Maybe the BBC hoped I wouldn't pull through so they didn't have to sack me"

An hour left....BBC London 94.9 - Danny Baker, 01/11/2012

 

[mr sheen]

Interesting link on that Bbc news article - that he's writing a British muppet show. That would be brilliant!

This will end in tears I fear. He is witty, original and very clever but he does shoot from the hip from time to time and as such he may have peed off the bosses to the extent that the saturday show may be axed too or Danny will stomp off to Talkcrap. Either way his loss from the airwaves is a disaster.

Urgh, today is not the day for my work internet to piss about and not let me load websites properly

 

[vegster]

How can there be a God if Danny gets axed but Richard Bacon goes on ?

Let's hope if he does go elsewhere it's to Absolute Radio and not the above mentioned horror.

Absolute would be a good move for him I reckon.

 

[Colossal Squid]

Seems a shame, although I don't listen to his BBC London show.

Back in the day when I worked at Gatwick however I used to regularly tune in to his BBC London breakfast show which was great value, much like his current Radio 5 show which I download each week for the car.

Presumably he won't keep his R5 show and will soon be found on another network. As long as I can still get podcasts of the show I don't mind

 

[Stat Brother]

DB has never been slow to let on how much he despises commercial radio.

It'll be interesting to see what he does now.
He has no money put away for a rainy day, Absolute and Talkspite will both be offering big bucks.

 

[The Hon Sec]

The man is a genius

 

[R. Slicker]

I will certainly miss him as I am often working in London. His show was always entertaining and seemed really popular.
However, his autobiography will be arriving automatically on my kindle next week, I cant wait, It should be a good read.

Yep - he could join Absolute and then between him and Frank Skinner all my Podcast needs will be met!!

DJ Danny Baker lashes out after being told his daily afternoon show on BBC London 94.9 was being axed, likening his employers to "pinheaded weasels".

 

[The Large One]

Although he was due to finish at the end of the year, he's said he is leaving immediately.
