Michael Ball's plush 11am slot on Sundays with an as-yet-unspecified design, prompting a protest from veteran Radio 2 listeners who find him off-putting. McGuinness' presence on Saturday's show in recent weeks left a "large impression," according to radio 2's chief, with listeners seated for him on his Saturday show, but listeners to the UK's most popular radio station fear that his presence will 'decimate' the listeners. In the weekday afternoon slot, Radio 2's most popular presenter shake-ups and burn-outs have seen nearly a million listeners fall nearly a million viewers since last year, most notable Ken Bruce's departure and Steve Wright's replacement with Radio 1's Scott Mills. In addition, a number of shows McGuinness has performed have been cancelled or delayed (Quest Gear and Question of Sport, right).
