Billy Grant tonight shocked his audience by quitting live on air. We managed to have a quick chat with him shortly after quitting, and we thought you might like to see it.

Initially Billy contacted us with a little message regarding Bluejovanka's last post about Gaydio

I read your comment about Gaydio / Gaydar ..
I am one many jocks at Gaydio who have quit because of it ..
We/I miss the old Gaydio

We sent him back a message asking if he would like to have a chat about why he left. We didn't think he would go straight in to it.

I will tell u right now ..I loved Gaydio, A station for the LGBT community for all..
Not this Gaydar shite ...Gaydar was Gaydar and Gaydio was Gaydio.
It hurts I don't listen to my friends and their shows on Gaydio..
Its sad end to something I was passionate about has ended this way ..

I agree with you. I haven't listen to Antony [Murphy] in a while because of the crap music. I'm not a great music lover to be honest, but Antony's show used to be different as he had more freedom over what he played. How come you left it so long to leave, and what made you decide to do it today and on air?

I didn't listen to the shows and my show wasn't on the Dab, but FM only .. But like I said - its the music that Gaydio pumps out the Gaydar music now . Before it was a I feel it was a normal station and now alienates the age range that aren't 15 - 25 I only do one show, so the delay was coming and I thought long and hard. Finally my decision was made and announcement was to be made, management didn't get back to me, so I went solo and announced it on air tonight.. enough is enough.

Thanks for this Billy, sorry that it came to this for you.

I was the last of the original line up...I was upsetting letting go ...

I remember listening to you when it first started. The shows were fantastic.

It was fun.. I still have them and they are priceless I have worked at other radio stations key 103 Imagine FM & Smooth FM .. Gaydio was the best - such a scream... if I could set up a page and get people to listen or download those classic shows, it would be brilliant. I always said - the day the fun ended - I would get up and walk away hence I played out with Cast " walkaway".

So, there we have it. It's a shame Billy decided it was time to leave. He was the last of the old guard of Gaydio and we here will certainly miss him. We'll leave you now with Billy's choice of signoff songs
