Charlie Power left Reddragon FM about 3 months before Steve Penk's network show started and was even being talked about, so he didn't leave because of Steve Penk's show, he left voluntarily.
I remember listening to the last few months or more of Charlie's show and I think that he was beginning to get bored of playing the same depressing love songs and lovey - dovey dedications every night, considering that he had been doing it for almost 10 years.
I do think, though, that Steve Penk was not the right presenter for such a show in the first place.
