He is best-known for his mid-morning programme on BBC Radio 2, which is broadcast on weekdays from 9:30am until 12pm.  has criticised broadcasting bosses for giving radio shows to TV stars who are not up to the job.

Mid-morning host Bruce, 58, was also critical of the trend for network chiefs to recruit stand-up comics - instead of those who have worked their way up through the radio ranks. He said radio executives "have lost their gifts as talent-spotters".

Among those to have hosted Radio 2 shows in the past few years have been Russell Brand Russell Edward Brand[1] (born June 4, 1975) is an English radio and television personality, comedian, actor, and newspaper columnist.
