A BBC star bid an emotional farewell to his show after four years saying ‘all great things must come to an end’.
Speaking on Sunday, he bid farewell to his listeners as the programme concluded.
Simon Logan has fronted BBC Radio Newcastle and BBC Radio Tees’ popular 80s and 90s show since 2021.
He told fans: “What is it they always say, all great things must come to an end.
“Whether you’ve ever got in touch with the show or whether you have just listened to our show, thanks to everybody on our Facebook group, thanks to Nathan for ‘putting it on the list’.
“I couldn’t have done it without you mate.
“The time has come to say farewell, seriously, thanks for being there.
“We’ve had a blast, haven’t we? Hope to catch you really soon.
“And whatever you’re doing tonight, always stay forever young. Ta-Ra”.
Simon played the Alphaville hit Forever Young as the broadcast ended.
It followed fans previously setting up a petition in a bid to keep Simon’s show on air.
More than 600 people collectively showed their support for the effort.
The 80s/90s show will be succeeded by an All England’ national show on Sundays at 2pm across the BBC’s 39 local radio stations.
It comes as another BBC veteran shared a major career change after quitting the corporation.
Nihal Arthanayake, 54, worked at the BBC for 23 years, interviewing stars such as Elton John .
It was revealed he was swapping his broadcasting microphone for a stage one to make his debut as a stand-up comedian.
