Don't know how Roman Kemp can commit to doing the One Show as well as breakfast. That's dedication.

Presume he can help hustle some guests on to his radio show though!

I thought the same about Roman, I wonder if he’ll eventually step back from radio as his presenting career takes off

I'm not sure. I doubt it. They'll probably slot someone in with them. I don't really listen to Capital much, but from little bits I have heard, and bits I've seen on social media.. things have stepped up a notch in quality especially since Chris joined the team.

Roman Kemp is stepping down from his Capital breakfast show, although that's according to The Sun (they're usually correct with the entertainment 'exclusives', though).

I suppose someone like Will Manning or Jimmy Hill might be a good shout if they look to someone in house to replace him.

Wonder if Roman will ever turn up on radio 1

Capital schedule changes are quite erratic, they changed it at the start of September, then Lauren Layfield left at the end of September and now Roman is going

I doubt it that he’d be on radio 1 but don’t rule it out 100%. Although I see it that he could be more television facing and could have a significant television career

Oh wow, I wonder who will replace him! Does that put Chris and Sian risk at all, does anyone know how it works there?

To me I think they do a better social media game than BBC Radio 1 bigger set up a lot more visually designed and knowing how to get on peoples social media feeds

It seems that the Mirror are running the same story I would consider if I was Global poaching an under used presenter like Snoochie Shy from 1 Xtra and maybe experiment doing something like Virgin and Absolute do having their breakfast show across Capital, Capital Xtra and Capital Dance probably wont happen. But consider how good Chris Stark is at producing and generating ideas for radio they should consider having him as Creative producer for the Capital network as whilst with network like capital fm relies on the ads and music but having somet stuff in terms of features and segments aceross the week that could be shared across social media to drive listeners to the station

I reckon maybe Will Manning & Aimee Vivian will host it together. Sian on afternoons and maybe Niall Gray on Drivetime (or the other way round). Chris could stay on breakfast or move with Sian. However, they may want a celebrity co-host like Heart. 

Will Manning presented with Sian & Chris earlier in the year while Roman was filming the quiz show so he may work slotted in. I think if Will moves to breakfast he might give up The Big Top 40.

If he does want to stay or bosses want him to stay it always helps contract negotiations...

To be fair if he has already signed up and wishes to continue working at global it could’ve been like when it was reported that Scott was going to Heart or Steve Wright was going to Virgin Radio or possibly Greatest Hits but a year after the end of the Big Show ended he still remains at Radio 2. In fairness these reports are 50/50 most often so it might not happen. Although he’s signed to The One Show another idea is if ITV wish to poach him for This Morning get popular younger personality to provide some stability and sense of that it will have longevity.

So Roman's done his whole show for today and didn't address it at all? That seems very odd. I would've thought he'd either confirm or deny it straight away.

I remember there was a few times when Scott Mills was rumoured to be leaving before his time and the same for other broadcasters think most stations if they presenters are staying but reported to leave don’t like to address it on-air and rather find a quieter way of nipping it in the bud. If it’s false their employer may rather look at how that rumour leaked to the press.

If Roman was up for it I reckon he should do full time bbc tv and so he can still be in Radio hold the Sat 10am and poss Friday 10am slot for him and Saturday put Katie with Jordan

I don’t think that the BBC for two weekly shows would have the budget to afford parachuting their rivals star presenter to do a smaller show and cost the station a lot moved and would make it seem as being too competitive. It wouldn’t be in the BBC’s best interests to poach him for radio.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.

      So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2

      I felt it was much better with the staging and everything.  I still cannot warm to his voice but he's a very good performer. Ireland was everything though.
