A Bradford man has helped name a new radio station dedicated to music from the 1960s.
Veteran broadcaster Ken Bruce is hosting a new Greatest Hits Radio programme where listeners can enjoy the most iconic, legendary songs from the decade.
The show, Ken Bruce’s Secret 60s, was named by Chris Benson, who will appear on Bruce’s regular Golden Years feature on Friday.
The 41-year-old is set to share three songs from a particular year that mean a lot to him.
He said: “To have this secret corner with classic Sixties music is brilliant.
“It feels as if we’re not meant to like Sixties music anymore so in my head this new station is like this little underground club.
“Greatest Hits Radio taking on board my suggestion of Secret 60s as a name shows the brilliant interaction that the station has with its listeners – and being invited on the station to talk to Ken was a lovely surprise!”
The former Radio 2 DJ had been at the BBC for more than three decades before moving to a mid-morning weekday slot at the Bauer Media company in April this year.
The Scottish broadcaster’s first show on Greatest Hits Radio began with The Beatles’ 1969 tune, Come Together.
