Force the BBC to reinstate Brian Matthew as Radio 2's Sound of the 60s presenter

Petition Details

The BBC say that Brian Matthew is too old to present the radio show Sound of the 60s. He met The Beatles, the Stones and many other iconic acts and is more than just a radio presenter. He's part of Britain's pop history himself and should be reinstated forthwith.
