BBC presenter disappointed with management’s behaviour as he was having treatment

Mark Radcliffe has said he was surprised to be bumped from his BBC 6 Music afternoon show while undergoing cancer treatment at the end of last year.

The radio presenter’s programme with Stuart Maconie was moved to Saturday and Sunday mornings in order to give Shaun Keaveny the 1pm weekday slot, as part of a reshuffle in which Lauren Laverne became the station’s breakfast show host.
