But if you didn't have exams, would Scott/Radio 1 sneak a couple of tickets to you?

Scott's never had an influence on it and even if he did I think I'd be way down the list for people he'd want to see there.

I can assure you that the system isn't that easy at all. Last year I got to go but the word on whether you can go or not literally comes in the last few days before the event and even then you're lucky for one ticket for the one day.

Did you get offered tickets Jono? If so, you could have sent your second-in-command.

I did. But they could have only been collected under my name with ID on the day.

That's me by the way if you didn't get the hint.

I thought that was Viv.

I'm still in Norfolk for all you conspiracy theorists ;)

So someone that devotes unpaid work to Radio 1 day in and out working with producers, Radio 1 employees, and promotes stuff that the BBC aren't able to promote, shouldn't be allowed a press pass (which would only go to a newspaper otherwise) for the weekend as a way of thanks? Someone who will happily pay for somewhere to stay and for the travel costs (unlike BBC employees). I refer you to last year's mini-site with pictures, videos, news, gossip and constant tweets from the weekend. All created by myself with that one ticket - certainly wasn't a jolly.

To be fair to Jono, he has put alot of work into this site, and into promoting not only Scott's shows but Radio 1 in general. So why shouldn't he be recognised once a year?

And yes thousands of people were unlucky... but that's just how it is! You win some, you lose some.

Are you somewhat bitter that your not there today?

take control

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.

      Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).

      Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.

      Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background.

      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.

      And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.

      I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.

      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

      Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.

      It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore.

      Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.

      I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
