Radio 2 Changes 

Zoe Ball

Former breakfast host Zoe Ball will launch a Saturday show from May, playing some of her favourite music and having lots of laughs reconnecting with listeners. 

Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2, said: “Zoe is one of the UK’s most loved presenters, so I’m thrilled to announce that she has a new home on Radio 2 on Saturday lunchtimes, plus she’ll be hosting various specials for us throughout the year.” 

Also in May, Pick of the Pops, hosted by Mark Goodier and currently broadcast each Saturday lunchtime, will move to a new home of Sundays. 

Mark said: “I presented my first BBC Radio 1 Top 40 in 1988, so I hope bringing Pick of the Pops to the traditional Sunday afternoon chart show home is an irresistible invitation to pop fans of all generations to join me for a nostalgic look back to some of the greatest songs from across the decades.” 

Richie Anderson, who presents the traffic and travel news every Monday – Thursday (noon-7pm), will launch a new Sunday night into Monday morning show (midnight-3am) in April, broadcasting live from BBC MediaCity in Salford. 

Richie said: “It’s always been a dream of mine to have my own show on Radio 2 and I’m delighted that dream has come true! I’m raring to go and can’t wait to get to know the night owls around the UK as the weekend comes to a close and we head into a brand new week.”
