Overview
- Sara Cox, named Thursday, will move from the Radio 2 Teatime show to the 6:30–9:30am Breakfast slot this summer, which reaches about 6.5 million weekly listeners.
- Gary Davies continues to cover Breakfast until Cox starts, and the BBC will name a new Teatime presenter later.
- The BBC said it terminated Scott Mills’ contracts in late March after it received new information and spoke with him.
- The Metropolitan Police opened an inquiry in 2016 into alleged offences involving a boy under 16, questioned a man in 2018, and the CPS advised in 2019 that the evidence did not meet the threshold for charges; Mills said he fully cooperated.
- The BBC says it was aware of an investigation in 2017 and is doing further work to clarify what was known inside the corporation, putting its internal processes under fresh scrutiny.
