Very possible.  The language does feel a bit more personal than you normally expect in writing in a business email.  In my work world, what we'd say on a call and what we put in writing is quite different!
Katie is incredibly loyal to Jordan so I am sure she privately felt embarrassed by what Jamie had done and this was a very public way of doing something about it.  Vick also re-shared Katie's post highlighting that bit.
Which for me is even more baffling than the Going Home situation as even though I can't stand Jamie Laing, I recognise some people do like him but I can't say the same of Danny Beard.
Which begs a bigger question - it feels like this goes beyond specific shows so what has brought people to Radio 1 as a station.
Are we aware of any (mainstream) shows that lost listeners?

Jamie didn't even know what RAJAR was six months ago!

A bit more from an embargoed email that Jamie Laing’s shared on Instagram, with the Going Home show reaching 3.3m.

 
Capital breakfast was also up to 2.8m, with a 261,000 increase the majority of whom are probably Jordan fans from Radio 1.

Nicki Chapman in for Romesh Ranganathan on Saturday 10th, 17th and 24th August
Tina Daheley in for Jeremy Vine for two weeks starting Monday 12th August 
OJ Borg in for Sara Cox on Wednesday 14th August
Scott Mills in for Fearne Cotton on Sounds Of The 90's on Saturday 17th August and 24th August.
 

Alyx is in for Daniel on Monday 15th July.

OJ would be more popular on daytime. He's brilliant but wasted on nights

WOW Sam&Danni huge for them

Connor Coates is in for Charlie Hedges on Saturday 15th June.

Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 11th & Tuesday 18th June.

Maia is also doing Early Breakfast on 21st June and covering Mollie King on Future Pop on both 12th and 19th June.

Looks like there’s gonna be no interim between Dean and Vicky and Matt and Mollie as the former are still there on the 27th June. 
 
We know that’s also the date of Arielle’s last EB, so I wonder if there’ll be an interim between her and Dean taking over. I suspect there’ll be at least a week with Ore.

It's not just us geeks in the chat box, because over on the Greg James radio 1 breakfast show fb page I see there's plenty of listeners who rate James after this weekend. Comments saying the same

Got to admit I only heard a bit of it tonight whilst driving but I loved it! Will definitely be listening back to this one and in future. Just what Thursday nights needed! 💗

It's got more of a Fri/ Sat feeling to it, for me. But there's nothing inherently wrong with the show.

Really liking the sound of the show so far!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
These sound affects are hurting my ears

What an intro!
 
Interesting how they're starting with Nia Archives 'Baiana' (a song which has been out for a year or so). Does that mean they are bringing a new mix of older and newer tracks? And is the hottest record now at it's old time of 6.30?

Felt awkward to start the programme with Newsbeat talking about where they discover new music - and most people saying TikTok.
Nice throwbacks to Zane Lowe, Annie Mac and Clara Amfo at the start of the show.

I listened back to this morning's show this afternoon, I thought it was sounding great.  Things are naturally comfortable between Jordan, Chris and Sian. Funny features and links.  The ads would probably start to grate after a while, but they weren't as jarring as I thought they would be, considering I've never listened to Capital for any lenght of time before really.
I agree about the weird track edits - some of them sound really off.  I do like that there's less dance music than R1 though, a good mix of older stuff too. I noticed they were chatting about young farmers and and Jordan and Chris both quipped that you don't have to be young to listen. Little dig at R1 I thought.
I will probably be sticking with Greg for the most part, but it's nice to have a more than decent alternative on days where R1 has an all day danceathon or something else I'm not keen on happening. I hope Jordan does really well there after the way he was taken off his R1 show. He's sounding at home so it's a good start.

Listening to the whole show it was actually a great fresh listen.  It was very very busy with lots of first show stunts but still little nods to the Jordan we loved on Radio 1.
Also, immediately he feels at ease with Chris and Asian.
He definitely feels more slick and professional though.

Very similar to Greg !

Shows how little I listened! There's a lot of music, as per usual, but evidently that's Capital style. It's certainly an easy listen.
Jordan confusing Skepsis and sepsis 🤣
Not sure how many of those we'll get - he seems to have a much more professional stance here.
One thing is clear there's a lot of choice for Radio 1 listeners of a certain age if they did want something different. I could happily listen to Moyles or Jordan, Global's offering has certainly improved. 

It's more engaging than I imagined Capital breakfast to be. Like others said, I haven't heard Roman much to compare it. It sounds like Sian and Chris have more leadership on air. 

I enjoyed their short stint at Radio 1 too. It was unfortunate there was a bit of scandal while they were at Radio 1.
I've seen quite a few friends saying how much they enjoy D&D on Virgin, so I could see them joining permanently. 

Oh I suppose I want to add to what I just said about not minding Jamie and being okay with him getting the drive slot - I would feel completely differently if it had been Katie joining Vick, with Jamie as the last minute third host.  If that had happened then I would feel annoyed at an unnecesary celebrity hire had been brought in - I hated the Maya Jama - Scott -Chris Friday situation when that was going on. I do think Jamie is better than Maya was though, in many ways.
