Radio Today reports that Radio Merseyside and Billy Butler have parted company.
Billy, 76, has always been cantankerous. But compared with the care and patience given to other long-serving radio hosts (cf Jimmy Young, Terry Wogan, etc), this 'letting go' seems to have been handled rather insensitively. Let's hope 'budget' and 'strategy' didn't get in the way of a nicer approach - after all, Lord Hall has given local radio editors licence to be different.
