    I suspect it was an open secret but then BBC management decided to axe him when it was all confirmed.

     

    After the Ken Bruce debacle I don’t blame them but very hard for the listeners.  
     

    Funny how Chris Stark is giving subtle hints.

    yeah because didnt Ken have an on air "rant" about them not letting him go when he wanted to?

    Got to be honest I'll probably be heading over to Jordan, Chris & Sian at Capital if that's the case.

    I like Greg a lot but I've also heard him on Breakfast for 6 years whereas Jordan, Chris & Sian would be something fresh and includes two DJs I really loved at Radio 1 in Jordan & Chris. 

    At times too I've been listening to Radio 1 at times despite some of the artists and music played and comparing the two side-by-side the Capital playlist feels slightly more to my taste and certainly has a lot less of the 'urban' stuff.

    I wonder if we will get a R1 reunited pic in the break out area, containing Dev, Moyles, Jam and Jordan and Chris

    I think some people would have doubted Vick and Jordan together, or Dean and Vicky, but both stabled the boat after Scott and Chris left. 

    INdeed

    off topic

    I know Scott is already back in 82A and most of the rest of R2 are in the new 8th floor studios now does anyone know how many new studios and when shows like Vine and Zoe are moving I know Sara has already moved

    Can anyone share in intel on this and what studios are for what now

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Vick isn’t on Going Home for the next couple of weeks and they stick Arielle or Sam and Danni on it, firstly so that Vick hasn’t got a very awkward show on Monday to deal with and secondly so they can launch the show fresh on the 4th March.

    I would not be suprised either put a safe pair of hands in for a few weeks - even Matt and Mollie (Matt used to cover drive for Greg in the 10s)

    In history every show change they have had a few weeks off before, and in effect Going Home will be relaunched with new features and format

    The only time I have known no gap is when Scott and Greg swapped slots in 2012, literally finished on the Friday and come Monday Scott was on at 1 and Greg at 4

    Is this the first time we’ve seen a senior Radio 1 presenter move directly from the BBC to a huge slot on a commercial competitor? May well be why it’s caused such a stir.

    I believe Scott was 1st choice for Heart when Jamie and Amanda started Breakfast and he entered negoiations for that gig which he then declined, probably being promised a move to 2 in the long run and in the short term given mids on Sat on R5L

    Not when there has been no official release about his next job and hasn’t started a promotional campaign for a rival network. He was still pressed to work until early march and has been personally quiet. So he’s yet to promote any move if they weren’t going to allow him to continue doing his show why did they include it in the press announcement.

    As I said earlier (I am a radio professional and know these things) he will be bound by an NDA about the new job so cannot comment. The Beeb would have put him on Gardening leave immediately as his new role is a conflict of interest.

    I can’t believe he’s been dropped from the schedules. At least give him one last show!!

    Its standard conflict of interest management

    The Beeb will not want him building following more before he leaves and he is going into direct competition with Greg

    With Scott it was slightly different as he was staying internally however he did not once promote the fact he would be on R2 while he was still on R1

    Yet now he is on R2 he often mentions stuff from R1 days and iroinically now uses his old 82A studio

    You see I look at it differently - the loss of Jordan would be a big shock. Will they want to lose Greg too? Surely not.

    totally not agreed

    Remember when Scott left for R2 he didn't even talk about or promote that on air so was probably bound by an NDA as well so imagine it is even tighter with a move to a rival

    I’m still in the something to do with mega massive monday idea, for them to announce Jamie joining in a post before Jordan leaving; and even in two separate posts as well. Idk just seems different to last few announcements.

    with Aleds comment now makes it bit more real, but still nothing from Jordan or Vick…

    If Jordan has got a new gig in radio he is probably bound by an NDA not to reveal until they do so I wouldn't read too much into the fact he hasn't spoken yet

    I would punt that he has a new radio gig at Heart Capital or Bauer (Ben Cooper??) he would not leave R1 lightly he is too dedicated and a geek

    Rumours are rife that Roman is becoming new perm host of the one show so don't be suprised if it is announced

    Greg being off today is naff all to do with it he has Covid

    SHOCKED YES! totally, excited too yes...

    Positive spin, this opens doors for Katie, Arielle, Dean etc in the future if Greg goes which he will one day it is inevatibe

    Arielle on breakfast wouldn't be a bad thing she is very Sara/Zoe esque

    What has suprised me: 1. RMC haven't had a move out of it, 2. M&M haven't had a move out of it well overdue a promotion however are the pinicle of the weekend broacasting with Charlie following them

    Jack - I would have said again suprised but he has just had a promotion to FS

    Let's see what happens in the next 48hrs

    Maia Beth is in for Mollie on Thursday 19th & 26th October

    Ore Olukoga is in for Katie on Saturday 28th October

    Maybe they are going for the method that "Drive host is main breakfast dep/in waiting" again like when Scott was on drive he was main breakfast cover clearly Jordan is the next in line for Breakfast although stranger things have happened (Moyles left and Grim came when everyone thought it would be Scott) wouldnt suprise me at all if RMC are next breakfast

    At this point I’ve got to agree to disagree if she wanted to shut it off she wouldn’t do the have some respect marlarky and did the radio drama. On two different sides of the fence on this one.

    She totally was blindsided mate, she couldnt know it was going to happen, she clearly wanted to shut it off.

    She’s an autonomous being so no one can tell her how to feel or react thats nature of being human. But you got to be able to take a bit of honesty and make sure people can talk honestly to you. Charlie did over react. If she didn’t brush things of it kind of adds to the drama and conflict that needs to move forward. It wasn’t that disrespectful and not expected to be nicey nicey all the time. Atleast Arielle wasn’t faking anything.

    Charlie did not over react, she shut it down, probably protecting her and Arielle's careers. As we have said she was professional and dealt with it like anyone should have - by the book.

    I wonder what Greg or Scott would have done… those are the two that I hold both in high esteem and also with totally different approaches. I think Scott would have played a song. Greg might embrace the chaos a bit more. I think Charlie did the best she could caught off guard

    I think Greg would have made it into a laugh, obvs he can't because of the investigation Scott, would have said whooooooo and played a song

    Absolutely if it was NBH she wouldnt have got in the studio, suspect she was just looking like pissed Arielle and they trusted her to play by the rules, and she didnt, Charlie handled it well minimal fuss and shut her down in seconds

    At the start that is exactly what it was, and then it kicked off, Charlie has supported that track from it's release and to have that on her watch, she wuite rightly took offence, Arielle should have known better, I am sure it will all be sorted over a vodka

    It’s a truck with not much space that’s easy to walk into and assume Charlie or an exec producer who might not have been on site would have the final say who goes on air
