DJ Neil Fox has been arrested by police over four alleged historical sex offences against two women.
The 53-year-old Magic presenter, who is known as Doctor Fox, was questioned at a police station in central London after being arrested earlier on Tuesday.
Three of the allegations are historical, while one is from earlier this year.
A Bauer Media spokesman said: "Bauer Media can confirm that Neil Fox, presenter of the Magic Radio breakfast show, was today arrested by Westminster Police. He is currently being questioned about various allegations.
"In the circumstances Neil will be off air from tomorrow to enable him to devote his full attention to dealing with these matters.
"All other aspects of his contract will remain unchanged while matters are resolved. We can make no further comment at this stage."
His arrest is not a part of the high-profile sex crime investigation, Operation Yewtree.
Scotland Yard has not named the broadcaster, but said a 53-year-old was being questioned.
A spokeswoman said: "Officers from Westminster this morning, Tuesday, 30 September, arrested 53-year-old man following four allegations of sexual assault against two women.
"Three of the allegations are historic, one from earlier this year.
"The man was arrested at a business address in W1 and taken to a central London police station. Officers subsequently searched addresses in SW6 and the Littlehampton area of West Sussex.
"The man has now been bailed to return on a date in early December pending further enquiries."
