Inquiry relates to Greatest Hits Radio’s ‘Face the Family’ campaign, promoted on Bruce’s morning show

Ken Bruce’s radio show is under investigation for a potential breach of broadcasting rules after his new employer demanded the government change the law to force criminal defendants into courtrooms.

The former Radio 2 presenter moved his morning show to commercial outlet Greatest Hits Radio in March but his show is having to deal with an Ofcom inquiry into the station’s “face the family” campaign, which was promoted on his programme.
