BBC Radio 2 has confirmed that Angela Scanlon will take over the station’s weekday drivetime programme from Sara Cox, part of a reorganisation of its presenting roster.
The drivetime slot is one of the network’s key weekday shows, and the change represents a prominent shift in Radio 2’s line-up. The station said the move will see Scanlon step into the role previously held by Cox.
In a separate announcement, Radio 2 revealed it had appointed a new presenter to front its country music programme after the departure of Bob Harris. The change follows Harris’s exit from the show, and the station signalled the appointment as the next stage in that programme’s transition.
Radio 2 did not provide detailed timing for when the new presenters will begin their duties or offer further comment about the broader schedule adjustments. The changes will be watched closely by listeners and industry observers as the station alters its weekday and specialist programming.
The reshuffle continues a period of movement among presenters across UK radio, with networks updating line-ups to reflect audience tastes and scheduling priorities. Listeners can expect more information from the station as start dates and show formats are confirmed.
