          A perfect example as to how the BBCs obsession with political correctness is destroying the corporation from the inside out. Good luck Simon Mayo.

          Any abuse Jo received was appalling, though I didn’t see much. There was a lot of criticism against the execs, though... they are the ones who should be leaving.

          I daresay the #Drivetime show will be given to a woman rather than to the best person for the job. You never learn, do you @BBC?

          Jo's old show was great. Simon's Drive Time show was great. The listening figures were great. Someone needs to sack the people who shook the shows up in the name of "correctness".

          It was appalling all the abuse she got, and for no reason - I loved both shows. Good luck Simon - I shall continue to listen on Radio 5 live and look forward to hearing you wherever you go as well as Jo's new show!

          Presumably the original #DriveTime show must have been getting low audience figures, because no one would be arrogant enough to get rid of a popular and successful show loved by millions on a publicly funded radio station right?

          "If it isn't broke, don't fix it"... I enjoyed listening to Simon's show for years, always felt part of it. Sadly, Jo Whiley's presentation style is about her, what's she's done, what she likes, etc.. She clearly struggled with the format, working with Simon.

          Didn’t see any myself thankfully, no need for it but I do feel the cohosting thing was a mistake & obviously this was the outcome expected (as in Simon leaving).

          Sad you’re going, but all the very best ... and tell Jo from me, I think she has (probably) the best ‘radio voice’ I’ve heard. Regards 🤓

          I liked Jo on her own show, she had her”style and grace”I love Simon Mayo and the team&I’m gutted. Face it BBC,you drove a wedge and the backlash has gone Jo’s way. Unfair. Get behind Jo,wish Simon the very best. Learn BBC - DJ’s have their own style, don’t try to control them

          It's called Chemistry. Some mixtures fizz others pop but some just become inert. BTW, whilst we're on the subject; what about Top Gear? Comedy Gold! The decision not the outcome. Love to have been at that meeting.
