Jordan & Mollie are in for Greg from Friday 20th to Friday 27th October.

Matt is solo on Friday 20th October.

Katie is in for Jordan from Monday 23rd to Thursday 26th October.

Jamie is in for Mollie on Friday 27th October.

I wonder if Matt is unavailable or they are trying Jordan out with different pairings.  Seems pretty clear Vick doesn’t want Breakfast.

Jordan and Mollie did do a week of breakfast before a few years ago.

Vick is off too on Wednesday 25th - so it's Katie solo!

Maybe they are going for the method that "Drive host is main breakfast dep/in waiting" again like when Scott was on drive he was main breakfast cover clearly Jordan is the next in line for Breakfast although stranger things have happened (Moyles left and Grim came when everyone thought it would be Scott) wouldnt suprise me at all if RMC are next breakfast

Yea. Maybe Matt will leave the station shortly then 

I do think that Matt and Mollie should leave at the same time I think that Mollie King could become good asset for Heart FM, Hits Radio or even Radio 2. If I was a commercial rival having someone that is a television personality and former pop-star who is a popular presenter a pop station. I think the station of Hits Radio isn’t as strong and doesn’t have a set image as it’s sister station Greatest Hits Radio should see Hits as a space to go all out pop station celebrating mix of girl bands, boy bands, one hit wonders and icon pop stars with playlists that follow trending songs on social media and the rising stars in pop.

Based on what we've seen, the fact Mollie has her own show, plus is being partnered up with other male DJs on the station, I really doubt they would want to let her go. I do think it's entirely possible that given M&M in the current format hasn't made it to weekdays, they'll be looking to the future and thinking, how long should it stay like that for? What's the development of that slot? Is Mollie better put together with someone like James or Jordan to make a brand new show for weekdays?

It sticks out like a sore thumb that they've passed Matt for breakfast cover twice in a row over Jordan

All highly speculative though - maybe Matt just isn't available Mon-Thurs that week!?

A couple of things. I don’t get the interest in Mollie King, I think she’s a good pop star but I haven’t rated her as a radio presenter. She’s not natural on air. However, pairing her up with Jordan might bring that out, who knows! Jordan wants the big gig, he told us in an interview, admittedly joking. Although, it’s clear Vick doesn’t want to do Breakfast again. Jordan and Mollie is a strange pairing, although most of us thought the same when Vick and Jordan were paired up, and now I think they’re great! I’m actually going to miss Vick and Jordan next week :((

Yes all speculation. It's always been Matt covering Greg for as long as I can remember. Its stuck out with it being two breakfast covers that have gone to jordan now, so it's two times in a row he hasn't been available,  Matt still being on air both friday's and then Mollie put on breakfast away her regular show with Matt.

I'll be happy to hear something new and Jordan and Katie were great together so this should also be a good listen

As usual it's either something or nothing.

Nonetheless, it's always interesting who is being chosen to cover one of the biggest radio shows in the country especially when one of the people involved is the natural / obvious successor.

I do wonder what Greg's plan is.  He is certainly under no pressure to leave Radio 1 but I think he'll be driven by wanting to do other things.  It's been his job since leaving Uni after all.

For Jordan it needs to happen fairly soon or it's unlikely he will ever get it.

What I find interesting is Greg James is the only presenter on daytime who hasn’t got a co-presenter. It shows how good he is.

Many of the presenters are perfectly good on their own - Jordan a clear example.  Though Jordan's style lends itself to having somebody to bounce off.

A lot of the time I really think he should introduce a co presenter to his show. When he’s co-hosted the show with Arielle or Charlie, the chemistry has been brilliant, the show even better than when he’s on his own.

And that's the thing about co-hosting - some people need a co-host to be interesting and others simply go beyond how great they already are - I think this is true of Scott and Jordan. Jordan's last solo chart cover - the day where he basically broke the chart - showed just how much he doesn't NEED a co-host but yet the week on breakfast with Katie showed how a co-host allows him to do stuff he just couldn't solo.

While i understand this arguement i think Mollie has legs left in her Radio 1 run

    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • 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.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • 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
    • There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine. 
    • It's a big 'No' from me (Israel-Palestine). No further comments.
    • A joke about pirates: ‘but we’re not jumping ship, like someone else’
    • 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.
