He’s also going to be conscious of his age - if he doesn’t do this now it’s probably not going to happen.
its just sad that the Ken Bruce / Greatest Hits thing took the p and the BBC rightly didn’t want a repeat.

Yeah the Suella Braverman comment had me creased the other month. 
It sounds like it’s been a quick decision. They must have known for a few days anyway as they’d have needed to have got Jamie lined up. 

I mean we’ll know next week about the Capital rumour I can only assume but if it isn’t I like many other listeners will be dumbfounded and be curious on the terms of being sacked by the BBC to be replaced in an unpopular decision by someone two years older who hasn’t had any experience as a radio broadcaster expect a few times of covering shows on the station not the same level of what ticks and engages with the stations audience.

Also note on socials etc it is almost nobody that is delighting in Jordan leaving.  That's always a good barometer. 
 
Still I am delighted for Jordan if he is getting a huge paycheque for this move - broadcasting is a fickle professional - make the dough when you can.

To me the succession plan must be something along the lines....
 
Move Sam and Danni to daytime in the next year - either replacing RMC or Vick and Jamie which simply can't last.  Let them get a bit more experience then give them Breakfast.  With Jordan gone, they are the only viable plan unless they let Katie do it alone from Manchester.

Jordan and Greg have always seemed to get along I don’t think there’s anything to read into there - if anything Greg is probably gutted Jordan won’t be his successor.  

Vastly underrated.   Still sounding good on Radio Ulster though.

It would’ve been nice to hear Alice on the radio again. I also miss having Phil Taggart on the radio he’s a superb presenter and hope he returns with something big on radio in the future.

Also he was one of the ones that do something that is hard to do make the mundane entertaining he has quite a charming and amusing delivery. I can’t imagine many presenters making ‘’picky teas’ or what you having for your tea, something so basic quite amusing that listeners interact with and the listeners really managed to convince and prove to him that this is good radio that they enjoy. He has that mates in the pub casual conversation that made it work and it’s all how you talk to a listener and he has many good stories to tell them. Really liked the stories he had to tell when he was on sunday mid mornings.

Is it weird I genuinely feel a bit sad today.
Jordan and whoever he was with or alone often made me feel happier with whatever was happening in my life/the world.  When you hear the tributes rightly paid to Steve Wright this week, you realise that's what broadcasting is all about.  Not saying Jordan is necessarily in Steve's class but he is certainly well above average and a huge loss.
 
When Scott left I think I only stayed with Radio 1 as I like Greg and loved Jordan... now I see no reason to stay especially as if Jordan is doing breakfast on Capital and I prefer him to Greg.

Not posted here today but I am genuinely a little bit stunned by this news.
Jordan has been a firm favourite of mine since he started covering shows & was delighted when he got the bump up to “Going Home”. Wasn’t sold on the Vick partnership to begin with (and I think I do personally prefer the dynamic with Katie) but the show has turned into a solid 2 hours and 15 minutes every single day! It’s got a great pace, with plenty of features & 2/3 people with great humour.
It’s a sad day, because as much as I now like Vick - I just didn’t enjoy Jamie when he covered with Matt last year. So I don’t think I’ll regularly catch the new show (I’ll give it a go out of curiosity, as surely they’ll want to reboot “Going Home” to some degree?).
There are only a handful of people I’ve felt genuinely gutted about leaving Radio 1: Scott & Chris, Alice Levine & now Jordan!

As target audience I honestly don't get what they see in Jamie. Simply put, he's not relatable, comes across as annoying and above everyone else and is very very Chelsea and posh London. A really bad choice for a national drive show.

At the end of the day, Jordan is a northern male that they've lost. Why not put in a presenter who is not only very good but also northern to plug that gap, not alienate more listeners.
Katie is great on weekends and has proved herself time and time again.
James Cusack has been excellent every time he's been on Radio 1. I've said before that he reminds me of the Jordan a few years ago, northern, down to earth, relatable, very charming and naturally funny with his chat. They definitely need to do more with these 2.
I feel the same, it's lacking people who sound like me now

I think if Katie was offered a big programme like breakfast or drive to be the Sara Cox to sweep in to fill any Simon Mayo and Jo Whiley like shoes with Jamie and Vick if it goes as listeners commented as a flop. I think that she deserves something otherwise I wouldn’t be surprised if she got bored of waiting and not being promoted and take a better offer. To me if the station is trying to steady itself and work on it’s own identity and trying to work on things think it might not be the best time to look to do the 00s and 10s service.

Aside from Katie - I think Sam and Danni would be the best choice now.
Though hey - for Radio 1 fans of recent years, Jordan North and Chris Stark at Breakfast on Capital is a hard one to pass by..

Absolutely. In the absence of Jordan, I see them as next in line for the Breakfast Show now - assuming that Vick is on her way out and Matt/Mollie don’t get it.

You can't imagine the dinner wasn't linked to his departure.  He isn't the sort of guy that wouldn't have told them.

or rather very Jordan South...

And indeed that's why I am still a Radio 1 listener at 46.  I still want to discover new music.   You can never beat that feeling at getting excited by something you are hearing for the first time..
 

Yes, think definately given a good shake of any ageist attitudes could ever had about the roster of line-up of radio 1 right now. Pete Tong caught his show the other night knowing he was doing a tribute but heard him playing some favourites and new finds. A listened to his show few times few years back think the past few days has me thinking need to listen to some more of radio 1 mixing it up with 6 and stuff like that.
As with 1Xtra I see it as a station that now with having presenters like Trevor Nelson, Seani B, Rodigan, Heartless Crew and Rampage assume the ages that fit the Radio 2 average presenter age. I see it as a station that celebrates the past, present and future of black music and black culture and should be that.
I love that we have presenters who could retire to present nostalgia driven shows on Radio 2 or Greatest Hits but it’s good to have 60s+ whether its Pete Tong, David Rodigan, Steve Lamarq, Tom Robinson, Iggy Pop and even Elton John (on Apple Music 1) having older presenters playing newer stuff. I don’t get how all you’d want to listen to is the music of your teenage years.

Only recently on the chatbox we were in agreement Annie would never "leave" Radio 1.  I would say "sadly" we have been proved right but I am sure that's exactly what she wanted.

Very nice words and it is good that the tone has remained upbeat as that's exactly what she would have wanted.
It would be nice if they did a tribute show in the next week.

The great thing about Radio 1 changes is that your usually can't predict exactly when things are going to happen. I agree with @bbcaaron about Annie - she will never leave for as long as she can actually do the show. As for Greg - you really couldn't tell... When a presenter is on top of their game their exit is going to be for their own reasons (as it was with Scott) so you can't predict but Greg hits 6 years on Breakfast this year which makes him the second longest ever presenter of R1 Breakfast and I can really see him wanting to do other things with his life
