Tony Blackburn, 79, accused age discrimination after the Radio 2 show was moved from Friday’s slot to Sunday.

Tony Blackburn attacked the BBC because of its “strange” decision to move his Radio 2 show.

The 79-year-old DJ appeared to blame the ageist decision in a social media post, saying “there’s a lot about it.”

Earlier this month, Blackburn learned that from mid-July his Golden Hour Show would be moved from 7 pm on Friday to the same time on Sunday.

Blackburn criticized the “strange” decision on Twitter, and fans of the show flocked to support former Radio 1 DJ. One commented that the BBC “made a lot of mistakes” by changing the schedule.

The Golden Hour move is part of a wide range of changes to Radio 2’s schedule when the Craig Charles Saturday House party will be cancelled.

The channel will feature new shows from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Jury, Michelle Visage, Waterloo Road actress Angela Griffin, and DJ Spoony. “As a result, there are many unfortunate DJs at the moment,” the insider said.

One fan wrote online: “It’s the official start of the weekend. Listen at Tony. Make the most of Friday night!”

Another addition: “I’m enjoying the music tonight … I’m going to miss the golden hour of this time.”

In response, Blackburn promised fans to “make Sunday more enjoyable,” which was “sorry,” and agreed that the show had lost Friday’s slots.

Earlier that day, he asked his followers, “No one values ​​experience anymore,” after learning that some employers aren’t considering jobs over the age of 55.

“Listening to the radio talks included that people over the age of 55 weren’t considered by their employers for work. Nobody values ​​experience anymore,” he wrote.

“I hate ageism and there’s a lot about it.”
