Will Scott go to R2?

Recommended Posts

Lots of Talk on DS about possibilities of replacements for Simon and Jo on R2 drive, and our lad keeps getting mentioned, that he'll probably go over, here is a reply I sent, showing that he actually has the MOST airtime on R1 of any of the presenters 

 

Although R1 have just gone through major schedule changes themselves and similarly to R2 the middle of the day shows are the stable (Clara and Scott) with a new breakfast and drive show and new show now late night with Jack Saunders, and the 4 day week as well all in a year, I can't see Clara or Scott being moved for some time, specially as Scott has effectively been promoted to drive on a Friday now as well - he's actually doing the most hours on R1 **Important caveat there on R1 ** I think I worked out in his permanent slots although as of Monday Dev is probably doing more covering the 8th, and Mistajam is level with Scott but i'm working this out on R1 airtime and mainstream daytime not dance or late night once a week shows

I suspect Dev may take one or two weekend shows off and leave Alice to run solo as he seems to be covering the 8th UFN

Scott (1-4 M-TH and 4-7 FR)- 15hrs a week
Greg (630-10 M-TH) - 14hrs a week
Grimmy (4-7 M-H)/Adele (4/630 M-TH and 4-6 FR)/Clara (10-1 M-TH)/Alice/Dev (6-10 F/S/SU)- 12hrs a week (discounts Dev covering the 8th which is an extra 8 (9-11 M-TH))
Annie (7-9 M-F)- 10hrs a week
Matt/Mollie (1-4 F/S/SU) - 9hrs a week
Jack Saunders (10-1am M-TH) - 8hrs a week
Maya (10-1 F/SA) 6hrs a week
Jordan (10-1 SU)/Katie/Cel (4-7 SU)- 3hrs a week

Can’t see Scott going anywhere in a hurry. Maybe in couple of years when schedule has stabilised and R1’s have more upcoming talent could see him and Chris going to weekends before touching r2 but right now there’s no reason to concider him for R2 , he’s still top of his game on R1’s and the only reason anyone could suggest R2 is because of age but that’s hatdly relevant when the content he puts out is relevant to target audience

    • 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
