Sarah’s support - May 04
Sarah Cox has been told off by BBC bosses for breaking rules
on impartiality.
Coxy voiced her support for US Presidential candidate John Kerry
during her drivetime show last month but was pulled up by the powers
that be who say that the BBC should be impartial in these types
of affairs. The DJ has not commented on the issue but we’re sure
she took it with her usual good humour.
Chris who? - 09/12/03
Sara Cox got a bit confused between Chris Evans and Chris Moyles
when she asked who was taking over her Radio One breakfast show…
Of course it is Chris Moyles, the afternoon DJ that has been dying
to get his hands on her morning show for as long as anyone can remember.
However, Sara is pleased with the move.
She said "F***ing hell - it's what he wants. I was pleased. Because
it's a chance for him to put his money where his f***ing mouth is
- he's been after it for so long. For the record, I think he will
do a good job."

Coxy's dropped! - 13/10/03
Camden gal Sara Cox has been dropped like a bad apple from her
Radio One Breakfast Show…
She is due to be replaced by Chris Moyles in January, three months
before her contract for the morning show is to officially end. Sara
has been criticized for losing listeners during her three and a
half year reign on Breakfast, and will be swapped to take over Chris's
afternoon show. However, Sara is undaunted and has only commented
that she will be glad of the lie in her new role will bring her!
Meanwhile ever chivalrous Chris has said he could do a better job
- 'I could absolutely kick anybody's arse on breakfast, ever.' He
went on to say he barely listened to Sara's show, preferring to
watch Channel 4's Ri:se.
Coxy's victory! - 09/06/03
Sara Cox has won a press privacy court victory, when she sued
the People magazine for publishing photographs of her naked on her
honeymoon…
The
radio one DJ and her new hubby Jon Carter were honeymooning nude
on a private Seychelles island, when they were snapped by a pap.
Sara initially received a printed apology, but went on to sue the
newspaper in the High Court.
She
has now been awarded £30,000 damages and Jon has been awarded £20,000.
This case could now be held up as an example with more people seeking
to take action through the courts.

A costly ride home - 03/12/02
Sara Cox the Radio 1 Breakfast DJ decided to hail a cab home
to Kentish Town from the Top Of The Pops Awards in Manchester when
her train was cancelled.
Big deal you might ask, but she obviously has more money then she
know what to do with since the fare cost a whopping £358. A return
flight only costs £200, wonder if anyone told her that.

plays.

Coxy's sweetener - 29/08/02
Regardless of the fact that she has lost Radio 1 nearly a million
listeners, her bosses believe in her, and she's just signed a new
£1 million deal to host the Radio One breakfast show for another
three years.
She only signed on the dotted line after assuring her bosses that
she had no immediate plans to start a family with hubby DJ Jon Carter.
Coxie
loses a million - 02/08/02
Bad news for Coxie, her Radio 1 Breakfast show has lost nearly a
million listeners. Sara Cox managed to swell the audience she inherited
from her pal Zoe Ball each quarter. Not any more, figures released
today by research company Rajar (Radio Joint Audience Research Ltd)
show it went down from 7.8 million to 6.9 million in 12 months.
A spokesman for the station - which targets 15 to 24 year-olds -
said: "During the World Cup there were lots of matches on when Sara
was on air. But she still has the biggest youth show in Europe."
Three months ago Terry Wogan's Radio 2 overtook Cox's for the first
time to give him the biggest breakfast show in the UK.
Naked anger - 16/10/01
This picture of Sara Cox's naked knee is printed
here to show how low some sections of the press will stoop. Kentish
Town residents Sara Cox and husband Jon
Carter are reportedly planning to sue the Sunday People
after the newspaper published nude photos of Sara taken while the
loving couple were on their Seychelles honeymoon.
Sara's manager Melanie Coupland, said she was appalled
by this violation of her client's privacy and expressed scorn at
the People's claim that the snaps had been taken by a holidaymaker
rather than a paparazzi
After a quick look at the photos, one top gossip
journalist said: "I'm not surprised she's suing. If I was as skinny
as Sara, I wouldn't want anyone to see me with my kit off either."
Miaow!
Unfortunately, as a family website, Myvillage is
not in a position to print the nude photos. Not to mention the fact
that we can't afford to be sued.
