Cox expressed enthusiasm for the new position, describing it as a 'full circle' moment and promising an exciting lineup of music and high-profile guests, including Hollywood actor Tom Hanks as her first guest.The transition highlights the dynamic nature of BBC Radio 2's programming and the evolving landscape of UK radio.

Davies' reflections on the 'not easy' start to his tenure underscore the pressures of maintaining a popular morning show, while Cox's appointment signals a shift in leadership and content direction for the station.
