Big news from David Prever this morning 😭 ⤵️

@DPrever @DPrever what a fantastic contribution you’ve made to the landscape of local radio across Oxfordshire - huge congratulations on all you’ve done - class! @BBCOxford what a magnificent job you all do - soundtrack to many of our lives - keep fighting the good fight. @BBCNews

@DPrever Noooooo!

@DPrever All the best on your next adventure David - a top broadcaster and bloke. I’ll always remember our chats over the talkback at Radio London on a Sunday night when you’d come in to do the overnight show and I was illegally playing Grover Washington Jnr. We had the best days 😊

@DPrever Thank you @DPrever for the excellence you've always brought to the table (mic)! We've chatted quite a few times on air and you've always been a very gracious, curious & insightful host. Wishing you every success going forward, sir.

@DPrever Best of luck with the next bit!

@DPrever Like those charts of chockie bars - I think David sits in the top tier. He's from an era where quality mattered (without being a dinosaw before anyone says)

@DPrever That is big news, but it is also sad news

@DPrever Oh I enjoy listening to this on my drives to work in the morning!

@DPrever That’s a great loss to Radio Oxford and the highly appreciative local audience. DP is a top turn with a great brain. I know he’ll create great success in the new role.

@DPrever Have you seen this … Made by a listener and is on display on Banbury Road in Oxford… In tribute to you.
