Ken Bruce reveals how he ended up with the rights to 'Popmaster' after leaving BBC Radio 2
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.
During an appearance on ITV's Good Morning Britain , co-host Martin Lewis asked the 72-year-old broadcaster how he managed to secure the rights to PopMaster. Bruce explained: "It's a long story. I thought about protecting the name PopMaster a few years ago. I asked somebody at the BBC if they wanted to come in on it, and they said, 'nah,' so I just trademarked it myself, so it became mine and my colleagues'.
Bruce also opened up about being awarded an MBE in the King's Birthday Honours for his contributions to radio, autism awareness, and charity. He expressed his surprise and gratitude, stating: "It's a huge honor, and unexpected because I've just been getting on with what I do, really." He further emphasized the importance of raising awareness about autism, as his own son is on the autism spectrum, and hoped that the recognition would bring attention to those who need it.
