The host of long-running American radio show A Prairie Home Companion says he is proud of having the "good judgement to quit" after 40 years at the helm.

Garrison Keillor said he would like the programme to continue as a live variety show.

His successor as host would do 鈥渁n even better job鈥�, he told the Today programme.

The secret of radio was the 鈥渟ingle voice directed to the listener鈥�, he said, criticising US television for becoming "balkanised" - or increasingly fragmented.
