Yes! Less likelihood of an embarrassing scandal. There's been quite a few recently.

Exactly that. None of the scandals hitting the BBC have been about women.

I'm disappointed... I don't listen to R2 in the mornings, much prefer Rossie on Greatest Hits. However I do like Sara for my last hour at work, not sure how she'll be in the mornings - too giddy?

But I'm one of the few that thinks please not OJ... he's so dull.

She's been on doing her fake American accent this afternoon.

I’ve enjoyed Gary on breakfast! But also love Sarah so I’ll be delighted. Love Trevor’s 2pm slot and OJ should step into the tea time slot. If not Gary, he’s easy to listen to - I absolutely couldn’t the other guy so happy he was given his marching orders. I’m pretty sure listening figures were dire so they found so dirt to get shot of him.

I really don't think so.

As of Q4 2025 (released Feb 2026), the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Scott Mills has 6.5 million weekly listeners, marking his highest figure since taking over. Despite a slight dip following a, high-profile presenter change in early 2025, the show remains the UK’s most-listened

I'm going to miss Gary Davies when his run finishes.

SirChenjins · 11/05/2026 21:18

Have they said when they'll be announcing the new breakfast presenter?

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · 11/05/2026 21:24

Already been announced @SirChenjins. Do you mean the tea time/drive time presenter?

SirChenjins · 12/05/2026 17:45

Yes, sorry - I meant the drive time!

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · 14/05/2026 08:09

Nothing so far. I'm wondering if they're in talks with someone not currently working for the BBC or they're waiting for the Strictly announcement first.

Ohhhhhhhh nooooooooo

Same.

I’d really like to see Chris Moyles take over tea time 🙂

SirChenjins · 14/05/2026 21:57

I think the BBC has had enough offensive male presenters.
