Ken Bruce has been "surprised" by the level of interest in 'PopMaster TV'.
Ken Bruce is excited that PopMaster is set to be a hit on TV
The 72-year-old star first launched the music quiz on BBC Radio 2, and took the format with him to his new mid-morning show on Greatest Hits Radio.
Ken is also presenting a TV version for More4 and he has relished finding an audience for it on the small screen.
Asked if he's enjoyed the challenge, Ken told TV and Satellite Week magazine: "I've been slightly surprised by the interest. It's been lovely.
"I would recommend, if anybody has the opportunity when they get to a certain age, to take a new direction or a different direction - do it!"
Ken and co-creator, radio producer Phil Swern, have tweaked the original 'PopMaster' format for the benefit of TV viewers but "it is still recognisably 'PopMaster'".
The TV version first aired on More4 on Monday (26.06.23) and it catapulted the channel to the top of the ratings.
'PopMaster TV' launched with a peak of 810,000 viewers, pushing the digital channel ahead of terrestrial rival BBC Two.
It airs across five nights this week at 8pm, and Monday night’s episode recorded an average of 636,000 viewers, peaking at 810,000 individuals.
The viewing figures ensured that More4 was the number one digital channel in its time slot.
Following the successful launch an extended run of 'PopMaster TV' is now expected to be commissioned.
