Angela Scanlon has been appointed as the new host of BBC Radio 2's Drivetime show, replacing Sara Cox, who moved to the breakfast slot. The announcement was made on Cox’s Breakfast Show on Monday. Scanlon described her initial stint at Radio 2 as a "little summer fling" and said she is eager to get to know listeners better during weekday hours from 16:00-19:00, stating, “I want all of it: the stories, the opinions, the chaos.” She found out about her new role while shopping for a baby sling at John Lewis, leading some friends to mistakenly believe she was pregnant. Scanlon has previously hosted Sunday morning shows on Radio 2 from 2018 to 2021 and filled in during Cox's absence alongside other personalities such as Joel Dommett, Jason Manford, Ellie Taylor, Alex Jones, and Gary Davies. Additionally, the station announced that Ben Earle will take over Bob Harris’s The Radio 2 Country Show from 9pm to 10pm on Thursdays after Harris stepped down last year due to health issues.
