BBC Radio 2 Johnnie Walker Announces Retirement

[@dmac4079]

I will be listening Johnny. I've tuned into your radio shows for decades. Thank you mate for all your hard work and above all....integrity. Sending You and Tiggy all my love. ❤

Johnny goes and I will never have a reason to listen to Radio 2 again, end of an era, thanks Johnny.

I only listen to Radio Two now because of Johnny Walker and being born in March 1963 and a big fan of 1970s music. I will still listen to Sounds of the Seventies only because the legendary Bob Harris is taking over the helm . God Bless Johnny and Tiggy.

What a shame. Broadcasting legend is Johnnie. Don’t listen radio 2 anymore just personal choice but when I did I loved the drive time show with Johnnie. Wish you all the best sir for your retirement

So sorry that Johnnie is retiring owing to ill health. I listened to his broadcast with Tiggy regarding their plans for his eventual demise and was struck by their deep relationship and positivity. Good luck to both of you, enjoy every day, and thank you for the enjoyment you’ve given us for 58 years.
