I imagine Early Breakfast is interfering with her DJ career which seems to be booming.
-
I wonder if this is a reaction to the reaction to Jamie Laing. Katie makes things much more acceptable.
-
-
I wonder if these changes will kick in on 15 April along with Jack moving to Future Sounds.
As others have said - this is another we couldn't have seen coming.
Here's an alternative potential for Dean and Vicky - Early Breakfast. Still ticks the box of another daytime show from outside London.
-
These reports are usually right - I wonder if Dean and Vicky are going to take over RMC’s slot as surely they are committed to a non London daytime show.
-
It was funny on Greg's show he talked about previous challenges such as his and Arielle's. No mention of Jordan's Rowing Home
-
Jordan talks of his move on the Weekend Release edition of Help I Sexted My Boss but doesn't give much away that we don't know.
You soon realise the only bit of all of this that is shock or sudden is Radio 1 removing him without warning.
It might have been nice for them to tell him even Thursday that that show was his last.

She’s one of the biggest assets to the station that could have a more prolonged career at the station than a fair few of those who currently on daytime. One with Jordan’s departure could risk losing.
Very good point.
What is Katie's future now? Plus she is bound to be hurting? She doesn't need Radio 1. More TV work? Higher profile role at another radio station....
I have been a Radio 1 listener for 30 years and can never remember the situation that has arisen with Jordan..closest was Chris Evans' disappearing act in 1997 but that was quite different.

James cussack must be next in line for a show but I don’t know where he would go now
After last Friday the one thing we have learnt is that all our speculation means nothing 😛

Nice reference from Greg to Jordan when talking about Sparks FM to Chris Howard. At least they're not treating him like he's dead to Radio 1 😂
Whatever management feel, I imagine the past week has been very tough on many of the presenters as they are actual friends with Jordan and whilst they will have known what was going on the suddenness of his exit will have hit them. Katie probably knew nothing of Jordan's axing until she was listening to Newsbeat immediately before her show last Friday. I genuinely felt sorry for her as you could tell she was shocked and upset.
It's such a shame they didn't get to do breakfast together. Their breakfast shows last summer were some of the best radio I have heard in years.

Now changed to say that James Cusack is solo on the 3rd March.
I noticed that on the 11th March that there is a generic Radio 1 Breakfast placeholder but the rest of the week is normal. May suggest that someone is covering Breakfast that day.
Maybe Jordan 😛

Would love to see them swap with Vick and Jamie after their stint on afternoons.
Agree. They have been great this week.
I will switch to Capital for Jordan, Chris and Sian but I would be tempted to come back to Radio 1 if it was Sam & Danni on Drive. I don't think I could take Capital all day so I will likely finally switch to Radio 2 after Breakfast. (except Fridays and Saturdays).

Tinea Taylor is the Friday Early Breakfast presenter in March.
A very experienced presenter - she left Kiss at the end of last year. Shows this slot is increasingly for trying new people generally as much as totally new talent from student/community/local radio.

From that story though I still don’t understand how they managed to get Jamie in so quickly? It sounds like Jordan only told them I assume after his last show that he was leaving and suddenly they already had a replacement lined up for him?
Given the negotiations had been going on for a long time, no doubt they had Jamie already lined up. They would have already known when Jordan expected to leave.
-
And the picture starts to emerge
Jordan had been discussing leaving for months and was removed from air as soon as it was confirmed - seemingly he didn't know until the announcement was made
https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/jordan-north-left-blindsided-radio-32182926
This would confirm Katie's reaction last Friday morning..
It's flattering for Jordan that they really didn't want to lose him but also seems to confirm why Dean covered Breakfast in the first week of January.
-
Despite Roman being very popular and loved on Capital there is only a very very rare negative comment about Jordan.

All in all, I think Aled's working with what's available money and people-wise. I'm just not sure about recurring features such as missions for the presenters and the overuse of the Anthems format.
I think there is a lof of truth here. Jordan's decision will no doubt be partly money-driven (as is his right and all our rights to go somewhere for more money) and the BBC gets lambasted when it tries to compete for wages.
-
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.

Also on another note just seen Greg’s insta story he sighned another breakfast contract quite interesting
That's probably significant in the Jordan leaving story. As we have often said on here, if it didn't happen for Jordan in the next year or two it was never going to happen.

Smart from Radio 1 - you don’t want to lose Greg anytime soon now there’s no clear successor. Anyone know how long a contract renewal would be for? Another year?
And as we have seen with Jordan - contracts can be ended on either side. (Jordan clearly exercised his right to end his early).
However, bottom line here is Greg is likely staying for the foreseeable now. Definitely the right choice for the station.
Greg will definitely end up being at least the second longest ever Breakfast Show presenter now. He only has two months to go to beat Tony Blackburn as the third longest presenter and about five to replace Grimmy in the number 2 slot.

If they're really keen and dead set on having Dean for breakfast that might have been the reason, or one of the reasons. I think he'll thrive at Capital but there's no getting away from the loss for r1 is huge.
You do wonder what went on with Dean covering Breakfast in the first week of the new year now.
When Vick returned from her honeymoon she asked on-air to Jordan "why weren't you doing breakfast?" and he gave some weird reply about Katie being busy but Dean did it alone so easily Jordan could have. The question was probably staged.
These big moves don't happen overnight so there is one of two things here, either the discussions were already starting and Radio 1 didn't want him on Breakfast or Dean covering Breakfast sent a very negative signal to Jordan and he was more open to an offer to Capital. Jordan probably didn't want to leave but career wise he has had to make the jump. (No doubt a bigger salary figured too).
No doubt either Aled or Jordan will spill the beans sometime...but I sniff a story here.

I was thinking last night this is one hell of a gamble for Jordan what if breakfast doesn’t work out for him on capital he gave up the chance of breakfast on radio 1
I think the key phrase is "chance of breakfast on Radio 1" - he had no guarantee of it and as said various times on here - time was starting to run against him. Plus add in some of the high profile surprising decisions - Dean & Vicky, Jamie Laing - he could easily have been passed over.
And actually - it's totally not impossible that he goes to Capital Breakfast and comes back to Radio 1 to take over from Greg. Highly unlikely but if the BBC really really wanted him for that gig, nothing to stop it happening.

It’s crazy how he can cover when he’s on a rival…unless there’s an exit/poach to R1 for him soon?
Not really Emil Franchi and James Cuisack have done the same
Dean new presenter of early breakfast
in BBC Radio 1
Posted
You’d guess he will also be full time Breakfast stand-in now which is probably a good trade off.
