Grimmy is expected to announce he’s leaving Radio 1 on air this afternoon.

Jordan & Vick to replace him

Interesting combo to replace him seems to be departing at same time as Annie Macmanus think last few months or last year must’ve seen the most people who have departed Radio1,R1X in time good move for Vick Hope. Can’t remember a duo being on drive time. Wonder if he may have been offered role at another station

I'm not surprised he's leaving. He's done the top job, and 3 years on drive. His show is starting to sound a little tired so it'll be a welcome change.. and much deserved promotions for Jordan & Vick, who i'm sure will bounce of each other well... as Jordan works about well with everyone he's on air with at R1.

Jordan's moment is finally here... and it was obvious when Vick joined that she would have a bigger role further down the line. That's two major daytime shows changing so hopefully it's secures Scott's future for a while yet.

I said he’d leave in 2022, turns out it was much sooner, but it’s not really a surprise. He’s been a good laugh and it’ll be a shame to see him go. Vick and Jordan presenting as a duo is an interesting choice but I think it’ll work well

Seems like with Dev,Phil,MistaJam,Huw,Annie,ToddlaT,Dotty leaving the R1/RX family means pretty much in new era almost t for the station. Likely means Pete Tong and Scott Mills are the only presenters who have stayed in similar slots fo years. Feel like there will be new imaging and promotional bits to the start of the new lineup.

still yet to know who will do 6M Afternoons

*unrelated- has anyone had issues with the chat box it’s a blank white box for myself.

Wonder what will happen with Sunday afternoon and weekend mid morns but can think that mid morn RMC maybe 5 day a week possibly Charlie only doing 4 of them for Dance Anthems of course

Dean is replacing Jordan at the weekend, I wonder if Vick will stay on Life Hacks with Katie? 

Would’ve liked it if Katie Thistleton had a promotion in this is Dean going to do Saturday Sunday not Friday or with Friday

Dean has taken all of Jordans Slots Fri Sat and Sun and will be from Salford

 

The chat box has been broke for days

I imagine they'd happily broadcast outside London too...

Was just enjoying Nick on afternoons, but excellent news for Vick and Jordan. I wonder if Annie and Nick will pair up again in the future now. Bit gutted for Katie losing another co-presenter.

As much as we said that we thought his time was up Grimmy has been amazing, I hope he goes onto big things. Jordan and Vick - I can’t wait to hear that!

Agreed enjoyed Grimmy in the mornings and after doing breakfast on the station unlike Sara Cox it’s pretty hard to stay on that long after a stint on breakfast as done a long haul of that. Does make me think could a commercial station be reshuffled and given bit of new face and relaunched or news emerged. Feel that could end up on Wireless ‘Virgin’ station or doing something like Global or Bauer

Ah least it’s not just me thats experienced issues, I mean it’s good news for him and will likely mean exiting Gaydio but it’s going to be interesting how his career develop guess that’s why paired him with Molly on occasions hopefully that Katie Thistleton may get something if Matt Edmonson, Adele Roberts or Scott’s shows changes in the long term

Yes would be good something like 6Music or a spin off station or a reshape of some of Radio X, Absolute or Virgins output. But yes can’t imagine them being too long away from the microphone.

Maybe if ever Apple Music ever did national radio stations as with having global and international wide English language stations. But feel there’s probably in couple weeks or months something we’ll hear

If Grimmy’s last drive show is 12th August and Vick and Jordan’s first is 6th September, then I’m going to assume we will have a few weeks with the so-called “B-Team” on weekday daytime in the gap? 
 

It’ll be really weird to listen to the “new” Radio 1 in September with all of these changes, but hopefully everything goes smoothly

    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
