Jordan North to leave Radio 1


Jono

Recommended Posts

Jordan turned 34 this week.Ā  As I have said before if he didn't get breakfast ASAP he was never going to get it so if he had a big offer elsewhere, you can see why he'd snap it.

His podcast has become absolutely huge over the past year too.

I honestly think this could be the point where I tune out of Radio 1 after Greg (unless Jordan is doing Breakfast somewhere).Ā  I stuck with Dean and Vicky simply as I didn't bother tuning out to come back but I can't listen to Jamie Laing so.

I did notice that he spent New Year with Sian Welby and he put a photo of them together on Instagram a few days ago at an awards ceremony.Ā 
Ā 

I hope it is a move to another network and he hasnā€™t been sacked for other reasonsā€¦

If he had been sacked, he wouldn't be still on air till the start of March. Definitely poached

To be fair to Capital Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby is an awesome line up.Ā 

Listening to Katie Thistleton clearly upset right now is an interesting listen!

Think this really is the biggest loss possible for Radio 1 - really does royally mess things up. Jamie Laing? He was Mattā€™s silly side kick, heā€™s not a Radio DJ.Ā

Ken Bruce was given longer to say goodbye than Jordan North. Very strange things happening at Radio 1 - DJs sounding upset, one wonders if Greg is even off with Covid!

Radio Today suggests he'll have another 'high profile' programme in the future.

Can't understand why drive isn't given to Katie, I thought Vick would be the first off!

Iā€™m a bit surprised that Vick has stayed too. I thought that if Jordan went, she would go with him really and then have a whole new line up at drive.Ā 
Ā 

Itā€™s a shame the Vick and Jordan (and Katie) partnership only lasted a couple of years because it was by far my favourite on radio 1

That just shows how sudden the announcement is really, poor Vick probably didn't have much of a chance to work things out, I doubt she'd just quit on the spot ... and they've also drafted in the emergency cover of Jamie Laing. Something very off about this, for sure.Ā

    • Here's an interesting one... Sara Cox is in for Scott covering breakfast on Monday 10th March. She was previously the main stand in for Chris Evans on the breakfast show prior to her taking over drivetime. In turn, OJ Borg is in for Sara on drive.. and Phil Williams is on overnight for OJ.
    • Sam & Danni are in for Vick, Katie & Jamie on Wednesday 5th March & Thursday 13th March.
    • 21st Feb 6pm-7pm: Danny Howard 7pm-9pm: Radio 1 Dance Awards 9pm-10pm: Sarah Story.
    • Calum Leslie is in for Lauren on Sunday 16th February. Jaguar is in for Sian on Sunday 9th March. CassKidd is in for Benji on Wednesday 12th March.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon tomorrow (Tuesday 11th February)
    • Iā€™m not getting to listen as much now as my office has the ā€œlocalā€ Bauer station on and no one will change it. Iā€™m listening to Scott on R2 from 6.30-7am and then Iā€™ll switch to Greg.Ā  Iā€™m still enjoying listening to Greg, although Scott being on R2 breakfast is proving to be a listening quandary. I donā€™t mind RMC, I do enjoy Charlie on Dance Anthems too. Matt and Millie/Jerry are really good Going Homeā€¦ I think they need to get some direction with this. Iā€™m usually listening on the way home and Iā€™m just feeling itā€™s not working. It feels all over the place in my mind as one is usually off. With Katie going on maternity leave imminently, it will be interesting to see what happens next. Vick and Katie have always worked well together so I think they should maybe focus on those two, even if they are working one out of London and one out of Manchester.Ā  Ā  Weekends - Nat and Vicky - I turn off on a Friday and actually put on Vernon. I do tune in for the Noughties show but Iā€™m beginning to find it a bit tired. When it first started, they had the whole two hours and would sometimes pull a few gems out that had been forgotten, it really did feel like a treat to listen to. Now it just seems that they play the safest options that are usually showing up on anthems every other day or week. I think it would be good if they maybe did a deep dive and chose a year and maybe looked back at a Radio 1 playlist from that week of that year. Thereā€™s so much good music from the Noughties but it does feel like they overlook what was popular at the time and just play songs that have just remained popular. I get they are appealing to younger audiences and my age group is probably due to move to R2 butā€¦ it would be good to hear some forgotten gems of that timeĀ 
    • Having spent quite a bit of time driving last week, listening to Greg is always good.Ā  The 10 minute takeover provides a good pick me up and his show on Monday was quite good.Ā Ā  Ā  RMC im neither here nor there for meĀ  Charlie on Dance Anthems on her own is better. Matt/Mollie/Jerry is always a good listen Going home last week when it was just Vick & Katie for the 3/4 shows (I think) was a good listen.Ā  Ā The Wednesday show with Jamie was ok to listen to, I just don't think he added much. Ā  Can't comment on weekends as I only listen to Dance Anthems on catch upĀ šŸ˜‚
