Tina Daheley to leave Newsbeat?

Tina Daheley has just been announced as the new presenter of Crimewatch on BBC One. Congrats to her- that's a really great gig. The press release says it'll be on every week across September. She does mention Radio 1 and says she "wants to engage young audiences" but I just wonder that between that, covering BBC Breakfast at weekends and doing 8pm news headlines on BBC One whether she'll still have time do do a full Newsbeat shift in the mornings. I suppose they could just get someone to cover her on the days she's doing Crimewatch but could she feel like it's time to move on?

She's been on the breakfast show for longer than Chris Moyles! 

Nerd alert: she hasn't, although she's not far off actually. Moyles was January 2004-September 2012, so 8 years 9 months, and Tina joined TCMS in February 2010 so she's been doing it for 6 years 6 months. Feels like yesterday that she replaced Carrie.

That's amazing! Tina's done really well, who'd have thought that "Chris Moyles' new sports monkey" would go on to be so successful? I can't see her sticking around at Newsbeat for too much longer though, she looks like she'll become very successful.

I actually prefer her reading the news compared to when Dom did! She has a more natural reading style.

She has done well - another good job on the CV! She has been at Radio 1 for some considerable time, so I'm sure when the time is right she will have enough experience to go on to bigger things with the BBC. Given ratings for Grimmy haven't been great lately, if he does get moved I suspect it would be a natural time for her to take that leap.

I haven't listened to the Radio 1 Breakfast show for months - I'm listening to the post-Brits one radioanorak posted, I'm surprised by how outgoing and funny Tina has become. She was always rather shy on TCMS, but she's really grown into the role and adds a hell of a lot to an otherwise average breakfast show. Go Tina!

    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
