Sara Cox Replaces Scott Mills

Sara Cox, a veteran broadcaster who has been a staple of Radio 2 for decades, described the new role as a 'dream' and a 'full circle' moment in her career.

The 51-year-old star will take over the coveted 6:30 am to 9:30 am slot, one of the most influential positions in British radio.

While fans have welcomed Cox’s promotion, the circumstances surrounding Mills’ departure continue to generate headlines.

The BBC has confirmed it is making several other schedule changes as it attempts to respond to evolving audience behaviors and budget constraints.
