Ken Bruce, the popular Scottish broadcaster, has revealed that the BBC turned down the opportunity to jointly trademark his iconic PopMaster music radio quiz, prompting him to acquire the rights himself. Having hosted the segment on BBC Radio 2 for over two decades, Bruce recently made the move to Bauer's Greatest Hits Radio, taking the format along with him.

The beloved quiz segment has been adapted into a six-part series for More4, with the premiere episode airing on Monday evening. When questioned about his transition away from the "warm bosom of Radio 2," Bruce responded: "I've successfully dragged myself away from it, I think. I'm very, very happy at Greatest Hits Radio.
