DJ Danny Baker has said he has hosted his last radio show for BBC London 94.9 after learning his daily programme was being axed.
The presenter hit out repeatedly at the BBC during his two-hour show, in which he called his bosses "weasels".
He pulls no punches throughout, taking many a pop at the Beeb's management. Amazed he got through the whole show without someone pulling him. He makes several references to how he found out via many "last to know" sources, and how nobody called to tell him. He also highlights how his co-presenters were paid £50 a show each, and how the Beeb paid more fix 6 months of Jimmy Saville than they did for 10 years of his co-presenters. Then he goes on to lay into the "limpet like" middle management who cling to the corporation.

Gets better as it goes along. :D

Unsurprisingly this hasn't made the iPlayer yet...
