Yes evidence of Greg James or Katie Thistleton disliking or hating on Dean McCullough is no more than conspiracy and fabricating reality. We don’t know what is says off air and off twitter. Lesson is don’t read into things that much

Guys, give the guy a break. I saw some of you in the chat talking how Radio 2 listeners don’t want change and complaining about Scott taking Steve’s show. But you’re doing exactly the same. Yes, Dean is different from Scott and Chris. But Scott is also different from Steve Wright. What radio stations are trying to do from time to time is to change things a bit and experiment. And that exactly what’s happening in both Radio 1 and 2. Everybody wins in current situation. Radio 1 gets to try new things and fresh talent in afternoon slot, Katie is getting a permanent slot and Matt and Mollie still hosts a big show and get to cover Breakfast.

There could be lots of reasons for people not publicly posting, as others above have mentioned. But, as with anyone anywhere starting a new job, I hope Dean and Vicky will be welcomed, just like I wish Scott to be welcomed by his R2 colleagues and Chris to be welcomed by his Capital colleagues. The decision was made by the bosses not by the other presenters (I assume). I'm sure Dean & Vicky fans are thrilled to have them on in the afternoons. It won't make much of a difference to me as I'm looking forward to following what Scott and Chris do next, as much as I'm going to miss having them on together.

I concur, I personally don’t get the Jordan and Vick pairing. I think he always sounds so uptight when he’s with her and comes across like he isn’t relaxed but then when Katie subs for Vick, he is a different person altogether. They should have been paired up from the start. I don’t think Jordan could have done a show solo at this point as he isn’t polished yet.
