A veteran BBC DJ has been sacked after criticising bosses for axeing his Saturday night show because his elderly audience are the wrong type of listeners , according to his friends.
David Allen was due to host three more shows before his long-running programme was taken off air, but has been fired after hitting out at chiefs during his show on Saturday, insiders said.
The BBC Radio Solent presenter has clearly touched a nerve , added one source close to him following the latest development.
Mr Allen, who presented his Saturday night show for 20 years, is now understood to be considering taking legal action against the BBC which could involve lodging an ageism complaint.
