The Chris Evans Breakfast Show is the flagship show for the UK's BBC Radio 2. It has been presented by Chris Evans from 11 January 2010, when Evans took over from Sir Terry Wogan who ended his stint as Breakfast presenter at the end of 2009.
The programme airs from 06:30 to 09:30 on weekdays. It was confirmed on 7 September that Evans would succeed Wogan when he retired as presenter of the breakfast show in December.
On 6 January 2010, it was announced that Moira Stuart would return to the BBC, reading the news for the Chris Evans Breakfast Show. The original sports presenter Jonny Saunders was replaced by Vassos Alexander on 25 July 2011.
The first three songs played on the first broadcast of the show were The Beatles tracks "All You Need Is Love" and "Got To Get You Into My Life"; and also Frank Sinatra's "Come Fly with Me".
Evans's team of co-presenters on the show includes ex-BBC TV newsreader Moira Stuart (with Justine Green standing in when Stuart is unavailable), sports presenter Vassos Alexander and travel reporter Lynn Bowles. There are also sometimes roving reports from Joe Schmo (aka Joe Haddow) from various locations in the UK.
Features on the show include:
Whenever Chris is not presenting, a segment called The Half Wower, featuring non-stop music with a feel-good theme, runs from 8:00 to 8:30 am. Whenever Sara Cox fills in for Chris, she uses Wow by Kylie Minogue as the theme song; however Mark Goodier does not use a set theme when he fills in.
