Just thought I would say I'm loving Nick's show at the moment! I think he has a great presentational style, and just generally enjoy listening to his show.

How do you think he'll cope with Scott's show this week? Hopefully he will be as good as he is on his regular slot.

Latest additions:

- Full Imaging Beds package (2009-2010)

- 2009 re-voice by Music4 (DRY+WET IDs, chart numbers 1-40)

- BBC Top Gear - Backing beds used in programs

As far as the whole takeover is concerned, I'm not minding it too much.

Zane's presentational style is alright on breakfast, I find him entertaining when he's talking about things and bantering with the others in the studio and its very clear he's got a lot of energy and enthuisam for what he does, which definitly helps. Having said that I don't particualrly like the music he plays as a lot is more band and rocky orientated and I like dance and chart although I do know that there will be more dancey music from time to time such as Swedish House Mafia and Example.

Annie and Huw I both like quite a lot. I would much rather have Annie on in the mornings instead of Fearne permanantly and Huw is just as good after lunch as Greg is. I've not listened to much of them yesterday and today because of work etc, but they seem to be a little more diverse with their music than Zane is and perhaps lean a bit more to the kind of things on the playlist than he does and this is more than acceptable in my opinion.

Nick however I haven't listened to, and my radio will be OFF after 4pm till Scott gets back. There is nothing about this guy that makes me want to listen to him. I don't like his "uber coolness" or the sound of his voice, and I am almost certain that I will not have any time for his taste in music either.

If its a specialist takeover get Westwood to do a similcast on R1 and 1Xtra, its been done before. Not really a fan of "black music" myself, but to be honest I think the man is a damn sight more entertaining than Nick bloody Grimshaw. If Westwood couldn't/wouldn't do it then get Nihal on, nobody can say that a show with Asian music isn't specialist and again he is a pretty good presenter.

Not impressed with censorship

    • 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.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • 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
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • 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. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • 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.
