I was thinking as I browse chrismoyles.net how much Radio 1 has changed!  He got away with using mild swears and people like Zane Lowe who was such a legend who knew what they were doing. In my opinion about 2004-2013 where Moyles was on breakfast Fearne was on.  I do miss Fearne, Chris, Zane, JK&Joel.

I do miss the Chemistry  between the djs. I mean I found the Chat between Matt And Mollie->Jordan North.  On Sunday 16th December 2018 about 9.45 to be really good chemistry. They were mocking Jordan being really hungover on early breakfast the other day. Which reminded me a bit of how Moyles used to pick on the other djs.

The only good djs left from the golden age

-Scott

-Greg

-Dev

-Matt

Looking at who’s new

-Annie 

 

-Mollie

-Jordan

-Adele 

In my opinion I’ve listed all the good djs at radio 1!

For me, Radio 1 was better in the past. My favourite era (so far) was the "Wake up with Moyles, go home with Mills era" from 2009 (when I started listening) until 2012. It lost its way a bit after that, although individual shows like Scott's, Greg's and Matt's were still really good. It's got better again with Greg at breakfast, although the four day week continues to grate and IMO they play too much music. I think my preferred style of radio (zoo formats, spontaneous and flexible, better balance between talk and music) is very much out of fashion at the moment.

It's funny, you tend not to notice era changes at Radio 1 until you see a list of names like that. 

I think the station's sounding really good at the moment. For me Greg and Grimmy are much better suited to their new timeslots. Nick's much more himself than he was in the structured format the old Breakfast Show was in, a decent listen. Greg makes Breakfast feel quite exciting and big budget, whist maintaining his trademark silliness.

I wouldn't say Annie is new however. She started on air in 2004 (according to Wikipedia) and was on BBC Switch with Grimmy what seems like donkeys ago.

Oh yeah I forget Annie has been around for a while 

but she didn’t get her big break until Zane left.

Annie previously hosted weekend afternoons and covered weekdays. It's weird to think she once did shows with a fair bit of personality. She also hosted 10pm-12am for 4 months when Grimmy moved to breakfast but before Phil Taggart and Alice Levine took over.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      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.

      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.

      What's going on with Newsbeat?

      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.

      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.

      Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.

      I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
