Sara Cox Takes Over Iconic Radio 2 Breakfast Show

Sara Cox is the new official host of the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, following a period of uncertainty. She transitions to this highly anticipated role after previously hosting the station's weekday Teatime show.

Cox replaces Scott Mills, whose tenure ended due to allegations concerning his personal conduct. Expressing her immense joy and honor, Cox stated her long-held dream of hosting the Breakfast Show and her excitement to connect with listeners.

Her appointment marks a significant moment, with listeners eagerly awaiting the announcement. Cox brings extensive experience, having begun her BBC radio career in 1999 at BBC Radio 1, where she also presented the Breakfast Show until 2003.

Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2, welcomed Cox, highlighting her strong listener rapport and suitability for the morning slot with her warmth and humor. Thomas also acknowledged Cox's recent success with the Great Northern Marathon Challenge, which raised £11.5m for Children in Need.
