New audience figures show Kay’s first months on the biggest show in Europe have seen a decline. But it’s no surprise – the person stepping into Bruce’s shoes was always doomedIn the five months since Ken Bruce sailed away from the BBC and into the port of Greatest Hits Radio, leaving Vernon Kay to take over at the helm of the most listened-to radio show in Europe, the former has very swiftly grown to daily audience figures of 3.7 million.
