Zoe Ball, a veteran UK radio presenter, is set to join Greatest Hits Radio to present weekday afternoon shows later this year, according to reports. The move follows the earlier departures of other well-known BBC Radio 2 colleagues, including Ken Bruce and Simon Mayo, who have also moved to competing stations. The coverage frames the change as part of a broader shift of prominent presenters away from BBC radio, with Ball becoming another high-profile addition to the Greatest Hits Radio schedule. The reports do not provide additional details on the exact start date, show format, or her programme length beyond weekday afternoons. They also do not indicate whether Ball’s role affects any existing commitments elsewhere. The announcements are presented as another personnel change within UK commercial and public-sector radio, highlighting how major stations are attracting established talent from long-running mainstream broadcasting positions.
