The Chris Evans Breakfast Show
The Chris Evans Breakfast Show (currently referred to on-air due to sponsorship reasons as The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Virgin Money) is the name given to two versions of a radio programme hosted by broadcaster Chris Evans in the United Kingdom. The first was the incarnation of The Radio 2 Breakfast Show that aired every weekday morning between 11 January 2010 and 24 December 2018. Evans had taken over from Terry Wogan, who ended his stint as the station's morning presenter on 18 December 2009. On 3 September 2018, it was announced by Evans live on air that he would be leaving the network. The show broadcast its final episode on BBC Radio 2 on 24 December 2018. On 3 October 2018, it was announced by Evans live on air that Zoe Ball would take over the slot, with her first broadcast airing on 14 January 2019. Evans meanwhile started the second incarnation of the show on Virgin Radio that began on 21 January 2019.
Evans announced in September 2018 that he would be leaving Radio 2 to move to commercial station Virgin Radio from January 2019. Joining Evans in his move from Radio 2 will be sports reporter Vassos Alexander, news and travel reporter Rachel Horne, executive producer Ellie Davis and several other behind-the-scenes staff. Sky News will provide weather updates. The show launched on Monday 21 January 2019 and is 30 minutes longer than its previous incarnation. The show is ad-break free due to the all-encompassing sponsorship deal with Sky.
In addition to the weekday breakfast show, for his first six weeks on air Evans presented a live Sunday morning programme from 10am to 1pm, titled The Chris Evans Ministry of Now with Sky. The programme ran from 27 January to 3 March 2019. Evans' regular sports reporter Vassos Alexander and featured guest Noel Fitzpatrick joined him each week for the programme. After it ended, it was replaced with a recorded programme featuring highlights from the weekday breakfast show, under the title The Best of The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky.
The Chris Evans Breakfast show also broadcasts on Virgin Radio Anthems UK, Virgin Radio Chilled UK and Virgin Radio 80s Plus.
Features
Features on the show include:
The show is also available as a podcast every Friday, with highlights from the show from the past week, plus extra content and uncut interviews.
The show replaced the long running Wake Up to Wogan and Evans originally took over the airwaves from Sarah Kennedy after the news at 7:00 am but following her departure later in 2010, this was changed to 6:30 am (following the news headlines). He always finished with a handover to Ken Bruce at 9:30 am. It was confirmed on 7 September 2009 that Evans would succeed Wogan as he retired as presenter of the breakfast show at the end of that year.
