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).

    • A phased return for a job that one of them barely turns up for? Their job is to present a radio show for 2 and 1/4 hours, 4 days a week. I might sound harsh but it’s not like they are returning to an 40+ hour desk job. They may well be on a phased return and I am in no position to judge nor would I want but I do wonder. A phased return should consist of gradually increasing one’s hours. They appear to be performing their other duties outside of R1 judging by social media. On popularity, they might be popular. I would imagine they are otherwise they would not be on the station. I also suspect there are lots of other ‘popular’ presenters who would jump at the chance to present on world famous Radio 1 and who could commit themselves to the show and make it a roaring success. Vick and Jamie’s schedules don’t align. I’m afraid to say the current show in its current format doesn’t work. I do not believe it will change until they amend the presenting lineup and create some proper features. You would not realise that it’s supposed to be the second biggest show on the station on listening to it. I might sound harsh but as a listener I’m sick and tired of it. I have to force myself to listen to it. Time for a change. Thinking outside the box, give Emil Frenchi the show! Anyway, that’s my 5p.
    • Why do they still work there? Becasue they are popular. They're still on a phased return after maternity / paternity leave. As for moving Katie to weekends, clearly she doesn't deserve that. I suspect audience research is vastly different from what you wrote there...
    • I agree i used to love Vick being a part of Radio 1 but now just feels like she's not bothered really. It's a shame for Katie as she is really good. I would move her and put her back on her own. Perhaps Matt&Mollie could do Going Home? But they really suit the 1pm slot much like Scott&Chris did
    • I'm 35 and love the music Radio 2 plays. But I've always enjoyed a mix of old and new
    • Even switch Katie with Matt and Mollie 
    • Why do Vick and Jamie still work at Radio 1. They do 1, 2 shows at the most out of 4 and offer zero value, just drop them. It’s a joke. That show has zero continuity and is the station seconds BIGGEST slot. Aled needs to do better. It needs a big overhaul. They need two presenters that gel together. Of the top of my head I’m not sure who that would be. Possible pairings could be Katie and Emil or Katie and Jerry on Monday-Thursday. You could give it to Sam and Danni and Katie do their weekend slot. It needs a regular incumbent. Vick and Jordan were so good together, we need a couple of presenters like that. Radically thinking give the show to Katie or Emil rather than a duo.
    • How do you know that  
    • I’d listen if the music was better. I don’t think I’m old enough for R2 yet 🤣
    • Lauren's with Matt in for Mollie on the 7th May.
    • Emil Franchi is hosting life hacks with Shanequa next Wednesday
    • It's gonna be tough shoes to fill. I have listened to her everyday since Scott left and do truly believe she is the best drive show in the country 
    • Yeah so kind of a half salary compared to what Scott was on, so only has to work half a year 
    • 😂 Are you actually being serious? There is more chance of Scott going back on Radio 1 Afternoons than him offering his services for free on a community station or a syndicated show   You don’t go from the biggest radio station in Europe to working for free! I really doubt he would be that desperate to be on the radio
