Bookmakers Asks: Will Listeners Tune In To Evans?

Bookmakers reveals latest odds on Radio Two breakfast show.

Bookmakers William Hill has revealed the latest odds on the Radio 2 breakfast programme.

Chris Evans took over the role from Terry Wogan but some viewers are reportedly not happy with the new host and the bookmakers have opened a market on a return of the former presenter.

Wogan is offered at odds of 16/1 for a full-time return before the end of the year, while Evans is available at 4/1 to depart before the end of 2010.

Evans only began presenting the show on January 11th.

"We think it is inevitable that Chris will have lost over a million listeners since taking over, the question is has he lost enough to get the chop?" said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

William Hill rates Evans a 4/7 shot to have lost between one and two million listeners before the end of the year, while between two and three million people to switch off is at 5/2.
