They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.

From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn

Possible when Sian is on maternity leave

Thought it was a clever nod to play lovers in a past life 1st song almost to taunt r1 with it. The whole show seems comfortable and Chris and Sian have more of an impact on it than under Roman without Jordan forcing the conversation. Music choice was a lot bigger however 15 minute ads is a pain

I don't remember the exact show but It was one of the Friday night djs. Dave Pearce, Judge Jules and Pete tong Era

Greg's shoe live and Jordan on catchup so can skip ads

I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent. He should be Scott's main cover going forwards

Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza

Next week is will Manning all week. I'm guessing it'll be another week after that. Normally 2 week gap

Sian Welby was very good on a evening show solo when she 1st joined capital.

He posted on Ig yesterday about a gig he's got coming up

Her gig was on the Saturday at Printworks.

Won't be Fred Again. He's said he's only doing Reading and Leeds in UK this year Calvin is a probable because of Vick. Raye and Dua Lipa are both high on list I imagine. Although with DL headlining Glasto maybe Beyonce

What was the Alex Scott one?

I remember Arielle didn't get invited on last year. Was a 8 second snippet and then moved onto to the next thing

I didn't say she wasn't doing it. I saw Mollie cycle in Burton. I can see why people would be suspicious of it cos she's knackered and it's hard for professionals to get the times and distances and she has only had 4 weeks training.

I always think there not doing the whole thing. Eg. They start and do maybe 5 miles, stop and a someone else takes over in disguise and basically do shifts. The photos and videos are when Mollie is on board. Some of the timings don't add up like usually finishing at time supposed to finish at

I've a feeling Zoe or Jeremy is heading out and someone will take her show. Paddy will replace whoever that is

Vick isn't Jordans type. There's a reason he doesn't talk about those things.

Greg has made no secret of his desire to get the record. I think he would reject all offers til he gets it and I also don't think he will take another radio show on any station after the breakfast show ends. With the added bad blood between Aled and Moyles then I don't think Aled will axe Greg so he can take it from him. The only question is will anyone replace Aled in the meantime

Scott and Chris would never work on r2. There style of show was too childlike for them. I heard Greg tried to get Chris to join his show but Chris wanted a clean break from r1. Don't think Scott will leave r2 for a very long time. His show is popular and in a good time slot. Unfortunately Chris won't ever be the main attraction and present on his own so his days will inevitably be numbered on radio, lucky he has Jordan now to keep him around for a long time.

This is true. I'm a truck driver and most trucks can only hold r1 and r2 stations steady. Capital and heart gets a lot of static. Could be a big reason why. Depending on the vehicles age and quality of media centre installed I listen to Scott generally

Interested to know what people think the station will be like in the next 5 years. Pretty obvious Greg won't go before 2027 but then I think Jack becomes next breakfast host. Katie in Live lounge Sam and Danni on Afternoons Dean on Drive Arielle on future sounds Charlie on Friday nights and Rickie and Melvin on 1xtra Breakfast show. I'd also quite like a movies show a Sunday where they discuss new films for this week and play music from it and music from other films. Could do it from 7 to 9 before r1 relax

The 3 presenter format rarely works on any show on tv or radio. Look at awards shows or entertainment shows. It's very difficult to get all 3 equal airtime without it being messy. I can't think of a successful full time trio other than RMC. From the listening I've done so far it seems Katie and Vick are against Jamie and he's there temporarily to try and attract a new audience. I also think Vick would have been looking to move on as she was going from Life hacks before Jordan went. She will obviously want to travel the world with Calvin and bosses won't agree to that much time off. It's a waiting game to see who leaves 1st Vick or Jamie. Katie is in for the long haul now

I don't think Dean and Vicky was the long term plan for the show. Replacing Mills and Stark was always an impossible job for whoever took it on and would have had flak for it. I think they wanted someone in that was far away from that show ready for now. I don't know if Matt and Mollie were always the intended recipients of it or if they had someone else planned. At the time there was a lack of quality available besides Matt and Mollie and maybe they wanted to give Dean and Vicky airtime as they have big plans for them moving forward
