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

    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • 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.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • 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 watched that advert and it made me realise quite how many 'big' specialist presenters there were back then
    • I've been reminded of this Radio 1 cinema advert. I remember being so excited to see it. The In New Music We Trust era. Everything felt so cool, even if they had Westwood.  
    • 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.
