I still don’t quite get why Radio 1 didn’t announce Jordan’s departure on Thursday morning and say he’ll have a final goodbye show that day. Capital were never going to announce Roman’s departure before that because he was off last week so it couldn’t have been ruined by them either.

You instantly feel that Jordan's new show will work - he is friends with both Chris and Sian and this is where he really excels when he has a real bond with the people he is working with. Katie and him were truly amazing on Breakfast last summer - wouldn't be shocked if that influenced Capital.

It still feels so unreal that this time last week Jordan was doing his show as normal on R1, with no one suspecting a thing, then this morning he's sitting with Roman, Chris and Sian. 

With Jordan talking about the people and friends he'll now be on air with, it did genuinely feel like it was a huge part of the move. But could imagine Vick feeling a bit miffed at his words.

I'm not sure I'd read into that if I was Vick. The last meal seemed to suggest she'd given her blessing if they were aware at that point.

Will Manning now finds himself in almost exactly the same situation Scott was at R1. Been covering the breakfast show for years but clearly the bridesmaid never the bride, does the next biggest shows (Chart Show and Drive) but will likely never be promoted from that. 

Wouldn't surprise me if he's tempted to the BBC or Bauer now

Really really mixed emotions today no idea what to feel

I do wonder if any of Capital's current line up will have been annoyed that they were not picked and are now looking elsewhere?

Drive i dont think is as big of a deal for capital fm because i think for say people in Cardiff to Birmingham and then London there are regional drivetime programmes not aa national show

Slightly off topic, but I’d love to see Sian on radio 1 one day. She’s really good from the clips I’ve heard browsing socials 

She will of course be promoted in April when she replaces Jack in his evening slot (as he moves to future artists).

    • That's correct. Vick according to the schedule is Mondays only for now and Jamie is Monday-Tuesday with the schedule both saying he's in and on not in on Wednesdays. 
    • Absolutely LOVED the 1tros! Listening back to this brings back lots of memories! Thank you for posting 
    • Spoony in for Sara Cox on Wednesday 25th February.
    • Emil has posted a story on Instagram saying good luck to the returning team next week. Vick, Jamie and Katie are all tagged. So all three likely back together on Monday.  Vick also been back filming Country File today. 
    • Scott opened Thursday by immediately clocking the pace of the inbox, saying it was “one of those mornings where you can tell people have woken up ready to talk.” Ellie Brennan and Tina Daheley were both in studio, with Scott checking in on them and joking that “we haven’t even warmed up yet and you’re all already in full voice.” The early links were light, with Scott narrating what was coming up and reminding listeners they were heading into “a proper Thursday show.” There were quick resets, music breathing space and familiar back-announcing, with Scott repeatedly acknowledging how fast messages were landing and half-laughing that “this is already a lot before seven.” Ellie noted that voice notes were stacking up unusually early, while Tina commented that people seemed keen to respond to each other as much as the programme. Motherhood chat, but not a phone-in The main theme emerged around motherhood and social media expectations, introduced by Scott reading a listener message about feeling like she was “constantly failing compared to what I see online.” Scott paused on it, saying “this comes up a lot, doesn’t it,” but was careful to keep the show moving rather than letting it settle into a single-issue phone-in. Ellie talked about how curated feeds distort reality, while Tina pointed out that “nobody posts the day where everything went wrong.” Scott reframed the discussion several times, reminding listeners that “you’re hearing highlights, not real life,” before deliberately breaking the run with music and a reset, saying they’d “come back to this — but not all at once.” Voice notes, relief and shared laughs As voice notes came in, the tone varied. Some were reflective, others lighter, with Scott reacting in the moment rather than letting each one sit heavily. When one mum admitted she didn’t enjoy every moment, Scott replied simply, “you’re allowed to feel like that,” before immediately moving on to the next message to stop it lingering. Ellie noted quietly that a lot of messages ended with apologies — “sorry if this sounds awful” — which Scott picked up on, saying, “you all keep apologising — you don’t need to.” He then undercut the intensity by joking that “this has turned into group therapy before 7am,” before laughing and playing a record. Listeners responded to each other as much as the show, which Scott acknowledged on air, saying it felt like “people talking to people rather than just talking to us,” while still steering the programme forward. Pause for Thought and breathing space Pause for Thought slotted neatly into the running order, continuing the theme without deepening it. The speaker focused on compassion, comparison and letting go of unrealistic expectations. Scott thanked them afterwards, saying it “fits with what people have been saying this morning,” and deliberately left a short pause before moving on. Ellie observed that the slot felt like “a natural breather” in the show, which Scott agreed with, before resetting the mood with music and lighter links. The handover Scott handed over to Vernon Kay by briefly outlining what the morning had been about. Vernon picked up on the listener response, saying it sounded like “one of those shows where people really got involved.” Scott agreed, replying that “they really did today,” and mentioned the volume of messages still waiting.
