Jordan North

I haven't heard much of him on early breakfast - tbh most of his weekend cover annoys me so idk if he'll get a slot. Saying that he jacked his job in at his Manchester station recently so maybe he heard there might be something up for grabs...

On a separate note I LOVE Adele in for Clara - she's much more up beat, professional, has a better way with words. She's just simply more enjoyable to listen to and doesn't bore me like Clara so often does!

Yes. I would keep that constellation. I boycott Claras show because the only thing she does is read out texts and announce music and every now and then a Live Lounge. But with Adele (I'd definitely miss her on early breakfast) it was much better, she even brought up a few games and stuff. I don't know what to think about Jordan North. I like his way of presenting, but he didn't seem as motivated as Adele on early breakfast.

Completely agree, Adele is fantastic! As previously mentioned, though, because she's getting a little old for the TA, after early breakfast it's looking perhaps like she'll be quietly dropped. 

I think she should replace Dev on the Weekend Breakfast Show and have Jordan North in on early mornings.

I reckon a good move would be Adele to weekend breakfast, Jordan to early breakfast and an Alice and Clara swap I think Dev's days are limited now.


Just to quote a user on here: "Clara has got the personality of a raisin"
I wouldn't be that harsh, but... Don't like her show. More on that at The station -> Radio 1 -> Clara Amfo

Jordan would be great for Early Breakfast Show. He's got a very soothing voice, perfect for this ghastly slot. And Adele is doing a brilliant job covering for Clara. I don't really listen to Clara's show when there's no Live Lounge as it's way too boring. But I tune in whenever Adele or Alice are covering for her. Adele sounds nice and lovely and connects easily with the listeners. As for Clara, well she was good at doing the chart show, just count-downing the tracks with occasional shout-outs to the listeners.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • 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.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • 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.
