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).

      Matt and Jerry again next week (on the schedule for every day except Monday but I’m guessing it will be the same then).

      R1 to R2 transfers

      Matt's production company has done a few TV shows I think - I can completely see him moving behind the scenes more generally (maybe not as controller!) when presenting work dries up, he's a smart guy. I can't see many of the current presenters at R2 for an age. Melvin, Mollie and Katie are most likely and they're just as likely to go into/back into commercial for a while as they're fairly mainstream and universally liked.

      Aled was more of a producer than presenter, he did do the Surgery but was a producer on The Chris Moyles Show and contributed as a presenter like how producer Tom or Amy contribute on Greg’s show. Since Matt’s main role is a presenter I think it would be unlikely for him to become Radio 1 Controller since his main focus at Radio 1 isn’t production like Aled’s was.

      Aled Haydn Jones was a presenter before he was controller, he did The Surgery and Chris Moyles Breakfast Show. I could see Matt going into Controller because he’s already in managerial roles with his games and puzzles company and he does some tv producing like that Make Me A Prime Minister show. I agree about Greg he’d rather be on air.

      I really can’t see Greg or Matt as a Radio 1 Controller, it’s usually a producer who goes to the controller roles, having a presenter would be weird. Also Greg is really passionate and clearly loves being on the radio so taking a break wouldn’t be expected. Rickie and Melvin wouldn’t really work on a Radio 2 extension (if that actually happens) in my opinion since it’ll be based around older music like 50s/60s/70s so it would be someone like Gary Davies, Tony Blackburn or they’re get a commercial presenter to come back to host. Sian Eleri would probably go to Radio 2 at some point, maybe taking over Radio 2 Unwinds on a Sunday?   With Dermot doing an Alternative Sounds of the 00s show it would be interesting to see when a Sounds of the 00s show will appear on Radio 2, and maybe we’ll see someone from Radio 1 move across to host that. Sounds of the 80’s started in 2013 and Sounds of the 90’s in 2020 so around 2027 would be the time to start a 00s based show on Radio 2, especially with Radio 1 20’s being launched this year. Sara Cox moved across from Radio 1 and hosted SOT80s and Fearne was only at Radio 1 a few years prior to SOT90s launch.

      Mollie and Katie will end up at Heart. Rickie and Melvin will end up on the R2 extension. Charlie on capital Dance. I can't see any presenters heading to r2 anytime soon. Greg I think will take a break from radio completely after his stint on breakfast and then maybe take over as R1 controller after Matt who replaces Aled. Sian Eleri I can see as a weekend R2 host
