I'm sure both would find this funny.

Another aside - I think Sam and Danni are outstanding with a wide appeal demographically. Hope this gives them a chance for a big promotion.

Yeah it does feel that a radio station that exists as a youth outlet is having trouble finding a purpose and identity when most young people don't and will not want to listen to radio 

I think that the future of the station is still good even if it is only a third of what it is now the station has about 7.3 million listeners at the last RAJAR and has been a increasing focus on growing the on-demand stations. Even if it lost a two thirds of its listeners you still on par as being higher than Radio X, BBC Radio 6 Music and Capital Xtra and much higher than any of the stations exclusively targeting the ageing population of elder radio listeners. 

I think that if worked on accepting itself not as chasing the commercial entities which inevitably will never attract the younger demographic of listeners and tried experimentation and see it as a public service youth community station it might have a sustainable future.

Oh damm. It looks like they have already updated the schedule! So we won't even get a goodbye show from Jordan? Thats..... a bit rubish. Not a good look for the BBC.

On the press release said his last show will be in March but if he wont be on the drive programme it would feel like they absolutely fudged it up and will leave for many disappointed listeners.

He is not on drive next week been taken off schedule

I reckon they have done a Ken on him, so he sits home being paid for the rest of the contract

It is probably their way, contractual, if he is off air he cant do any damage

Given how bad they usually are at updating the schedule, it's telling how quick they have been here to remove any mention of him near instantly. Add in the lack of a quote from Jordan on the press release and it sounds an acrimonious departure.

I fear the Ken Bruce stuff seems to have had an impact on how they deal with defections.

With Ken Bruce we heard something straight away and it seemed that his departure of Radio 2 was announced simultaneously that he would be taking his show over to Greatest Hits Radio since there is no announcement by Global or Bauer of him joining Capital or another breakfast show makes this rash change to the schedule feel more baffling. With Ken he was on campaign mode straight away for Greatest Hits but still had two more weeks at Radio 2 or something like that and could say goodbye to Radio 2 and the BBC on-air. But if this contridicts the press announcement. Why?

the fact that from Monday (19/02) the show has been renamed to Going Home on Radio 1 instead of Going Home with Vick and Jordan I feel like says a lot. potentially about the nature of the split and that the Vick & Jamie pairing is planned to be that long

I checked just after the announcement and it still had Jordan, so they’ve definitely changed it. I wonder if with Judge Jordan ending earlier in the week if Jordan’s closer circle knew something was happening before the bosses did.

It’s interesting though, given the engagement on the insta post and on here it’s evident the shockwaves this announcement has had on the community, and shows just how big of a blow this is to Radio 1. Maybe that explains the tone of the leaving message from the BBC.

So who will be presenting Going Home next week?

I wonder if Roman Kemp will announce he’s leaving Capital Breakfast on Monday and at the same time announce Jordan as the new host?

Really looks like Jordan’s presented his final Radio 1 show 🤯

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Ash101 · Posted

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      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.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      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?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      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
