Just curious where you saw that? I checked the schedule and I could not see anything.

Ooh that’s interesting - correct me if I’m wrong but I think that’s the first time he’s covered a proper daytime show as opposed to him doing the Indie Show on the nighttime takeover?

Yes I think it is! I'm very interested to hear how he sounds. I really rate him as a broadcaster and he seems to have a great personality so him covering Grimmy should be good!

Thrust would be quite interesting change of style and programming from the time he pops up odd time to time speaking on daytime shows and some game features of battle of fans before on indie show he seems he could fit day time do feel like it would be good to get a specialist presenter back on day time again as Huw Stephens did good cover and his own show on Saturday and Sunday afternoons for years so think it would be good to have that passion for music and bring some more specialist with entertainment that fits daytime again. I mean Annie covered Fearne Cotton possibly Clara vise versa so seems like going back to more blended between covering I mean it’s not far of to how Radio 1 Xtra or 6 Music would do it

Jack is an interesting one. Very lively on drive time. But he still sounds a bit too energetic and shouty compared to other daytime DJs. I think if he could be fine tuned he could work well with a weekend show. He probably won't find it complimentary to still be defined by Radio X but it's something I tend to listen to for something different.

This was easily the most coherent, well put together first Drive cover from any Radio 1 DJ I’ve heard.  Normally first time it sounds shaky and a bit amateur hour, but Jack put together a solid performance, and that’s a high bar to build from!  Jordan’s *first* cover on Drive didn’t sound nearly as professional as his covers do now.

I guess the dilemma Aled has is that the schedule needs more women... Weekdays only have Clara, which could explain why Annie Mac starts at 6pm

Isn't early breakfast classed as part of the daytime schedule? 

I do rate Jack as a broadcaster, he's very passionate about the music he plays. I did notice he did give out more detail while namechecking the tracks, i suppose something he's used to doing on his own show, although that's not a bad thing. I enjoyed listening this afternoon

Completely agree. Until today I didn't see a possibility of Jack coming to daytimes, but he was impressive.

      Radio 2 in the Park 2024

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      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).

      Arielle Free's wedding

      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.

      What's going on with Newsbeat?

      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

      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.
