What a shame it has come to this. The #radio2 bosses seem intent on destroying radio 2. So sad that #simonmayo is leaving radio 2. All they had to do was admit the new drive time was a mistake, or perhaps leave it alone in the first place. #wetoldyouso

Hey #lewiscarnie .@BobShennan when will you apologise for the patronising letters you sent to upset #drivetime fans?You've been condescending & dishonest & forced Mayo out (he didn't plan to leave 6 months ago).Your #shameful response made fans frustrated & increasingly critical

Lord Hall and James Purnell. Hang your heads in shame. What a way to treat your members of staff and loyal listeners. You mucked it up and stayed silent. Get someone in that’s cares about the job. #bringbackdrivetime

By the way .@BBCRadio2 , an entire segment on the Jeremy Vine show this afternoon was built around a couple who had discovered R2 through Simon Mayo. Just saying... #shameful #drivetime #sorrow

bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment… #DriveTime #SimonMayo #JoWhiley well done #LewisCarnie more like Lewis Carnage. Why is the head of @BBCRadio2 still in a job he has no apparent aptitude for? What a mess..!

So after @BBCRadio2 ruinous decision to ‘revamp’ #drivetime Simon Mayo has left, Jo Whiley pretty much gets her old slot back and we’re left with a vacant 5-7 slot that Simon looked after so brilliantly and the listeners loved?

A dark and sad day for @BBCRadio2 when they force out their best presenter @siminmayo, who was put in an untenable position. #lewiscarnie should be fired for making such a momentous mistake. The beginning of the end of Radio 2.

Hello Caller, yes it’s very very sad that Mr Mayo is leaving, who’s to blame? Oh I’m sure it’s Mr Carnie fault, not the production team or Mrs Whiley, just to say I’m off also. Goodbye

#differenttimes #radio2 @simonmayo Remembering driving over the Peak District. Dark, Autumnal, windy... the full moon huge over Stannage Edge... Nigel's Foodie Thursday on the car radio. Now? I'd rather clean up dog shit in the garden than listen to Jo Wiley. #bbdt

Perhaps #BBCRadio2 someone can go "back to basics" with Jo Wiley. Basic empathy, Basic listening skills, basic "how to talk nicely to people", basic humor, basic common decency.... #dontbullybobbi #saveoursimon #jomustgo #bringbackdrivetime #listentoyouraudience

"I don't share anything. Hands off!" 😂 Whether you're a clueless cook or restaurant ready, @RosemaryShrager's taking everything back to basics. From boiling an egg, to perfecting that soufflé! 🥚 bbc.in/2yQfcXQ

Is this an indication of how desperate they are getting? Having to tweet to ask people to download the Confessions podcast? Simon and the Drivetime dreamteam never had to ask us - we just did it each Friday #bringbackdrivetime #SimonMayoOnHisOwn #drivetimedreamteam – at Bury, England

Police Officer Bo’s confession didn’t quite make the cut last week and you'll soon understand why... 😱 Catch up with even more naughty revelations in @jowhiley & @SimonMayo's latest podcast. bbc.in/2CPYBIj

Wow. Delusional or what?? Liza Tarbuck didn’t need 5 months to settle in, and for the record with Jo and Simon at the helm it’s still bl00dy awful. Never got past 10 mins. #shambles#bbdt

No No No the show is no better, after 5 months still drivel, still no laughter, still no chemistry .Please would someone accept responsibility for this grave mistake let the female presenter go back to her old slot and reinstate the superior drivetime team

Bring back Simon Mayo's Dreamteam on Drivetime.. Facebook Page for anyone who hates the dumbing down of Drivetime and the inane drivel plated up as weekday "entertainment" by Jo Wiley and #BBCradio2 #bringbackdrivetime #savesimonmayo #LISTENTOYOURAUDIENCE

I forced myself to listen yesterday. The issue is that to Jo everything needs to be a drama. “Tell is about your problems/crisis etc etc”. BUT 98% of the audience have simply had an average day. We are tired after a days work. We want to be entertained not involved, Simon gets it

Replying to @simonmayo
I heard it in his voice pretty much straight away when it all changed over. He sounds a broken man on that show and who could blame him. Personally I think they are trying to force him out due to their political agenda of having a woman on a primetime slot #bringbackdrivetime

Next week (24/10) RAJAR figures will be released to .@BBCRadio2. Hoping, finally, for an honest response to their #shameful axing of Mayo's #drivetime. .@BBCR4Feedback pls hold them to account & no pathetic excuses (football, summer) when competitors have seen listener increases
