DJ Tony Blackburn says goodbye to BBC local radio after 43 years
Veteran radio DJ Tony Blackburn has presented his final BBC local radio show.
The 81-year-old said he had decided to leave his Sunday show on BBC Radio Berkshire, BBC Radio Oxford and BBC Radio Solent to pursue other projects.
He told listeners his years on BBC local stations, which began in 1981, had been a pleasure.
The DJ, who received an OBE medal last week, will concentrate on his BBC Radio 2 shows and theatre tour.
