“I received a phone call, I no longer fit into the format.”

Former footballer Johan Dirksen must soon stop his radio show on Radio Veronica, the analyst from Today Inside announced in a chat with View news. According to Derksen, the main reason for his departure from the national radio station was that he no longer fit the format.

This will end within a month Mustache Now he announced himself. And he is not the only one, because singer Danny Vera also had to stop his show on the channel: “We received a phone call: we no longer fit the format. They told Danny, I had some contact with him, that and this may be true for Danny, but I was doing it for free for 25 years,” the former player of Go Ahead Eagles and Haarlem, among others, explains the radio station’s decision.

Mustache He thinks it would be a shame if singer Vera was replaced by a new show with two friends: “Danny did it with great pleasure, and I also think Danny Vera is a well-known name.
