Been confirmed the drive time show will be hosted by Sara Cox in the least surprising news ever. I don’t mind Sara when she’s filled in on the breakfast show etc and her evening show was entertaining enough. She’s a good fit for the show although sometimes she needs to tone down the northerness.
Simon Mayo is leaving and Jo Whiley is moving to 7-9pm slot, so this whole experiment has been a waste of time and they’ve lost a really good drive time show for what?
The new show with Jo Wiley doesn’t work, they’ve got no chemistry together at all. A few weeks ago OJ Borg and Suzy Perry stood in for them and the show was miles better. It’s a real shame as the old Simon Mayo show worked really well.
