Chris Evans is a couple of days into his tenure as the
nation's alarm-call on BBC Radio 2's Breakfast Show after the end of
Wake Up to Wogan. He even received an answer phone message from Sir Terry that he played on air yesterday.
So how are things going?
- There has been criticism of the level of cross-promotion for the show on the BBC's television channels, hoping to stem any loss in audience ratings;
- The rehiring of Moira Stewart as the show's newscaster was hailed a success;
- The ratings figures are not in, and may well be delayed until they show good news.
But Mr Evans has seemed to cope so far, without wishing to add his own zany brand of humour to the mix just yet. He'll wait until enough
TOGS have turned to
COGS (or perhaps Chris's audience figures, CAF) before risking many new features, just to work out what listeners actually want from him.
Radio ratings are only done every quarter, so they won't be available until April or later. I'd guess they'll go down, but that's inevitable for such a big change.
