The BBC has officially named Sara Cox as the new host of the Radio 2 Breakfast Show, confirming that she will take over the network's flagship morning programme following the termination of Scott Mills over sexual abuse allegations.
The appointment marks a significant era of transition for the station, coming just weeks after the corporation took the unprecedented step of sacking Mills, a veteran DJ of nearly 30 years. Cox, who currently hosts the station's teatime slot and will inherit an audience of 6.5 million weekly listeners this summer, said that 'it's been a dream' of hers to lead the Radio 2 morning show.
