Classic FM boss Roger Lewis yesterday said that he would definitely not be applying for the post of BBC Radio 2's controller.
It was rumoured that the GWR-owned station (one of the big radio success stories of the last decade) would lose Lewis to the Beeb when Jim Moir leaves Radio 2 later this year. But Lewis – who, as we reported yesterday, is currently looking after the day to day running of GWR following the departure of Chief Exec Patrick Taylor – has said he will remain with the commercial outfit.
