Zoe Ball quit BBC Radio 2 with listeners at two year high before Scott Mills takeover Presenter Zoe Ball left her BBC Radio 2 show with her largest audience for nearly two years, according to figures.
PA adds that Rajar's findings also show, for example, that Greg James' breakfast show on BBC Radio 1 is up 4 percent year-on-year from 3.9 million to 4.1 million; no comparable figures for the previous quarter are available, because of a change in the programme's transmission time.
Radio 2's Breakfast Show remains the most-listened to programme in the UK at that time of day, ahead of fellow BBC shows as well as commercial rivals like Chris Evans on Virgin Radio and Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden on Heart.
BBC Radio 2 head Helen Thomas said that she was "thrilled that Radio 2 remains the most popular radio station in the UK" and is "immensely proud" of the station's schedule.
Radio 2's overall audience saw a similar jump to that enjoyed by Zoe, averaging 13.6 million across the three months to December, up 3 percent both on the previous quarter and year-on-year.
