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.

Heaven help whoever might be covering Greg on Monday if he isn’t feeling better, can’t imagine it’ll be normal service resumed on the texts.
Least the bosses know they’ll get some high numbers at 15:30 with everyone listening to what (if anything) is going to get said

Kind of crazy this all went down when Greg was off.  I've heard they're awfully close.

Sources that be seem to think that Roman will be announcing his departure on Monday, presumably during the show so that it’ll be cleared up by 3.30.

you can’t blame either party really, if you’re the BBC you obviously don’t want to give a platform to the presenter who’s gonna be presenting your rival’s main show in a few weeks And you can’t blame Jordan because presumably he’s got himself a nice new pay packet (even if he’s sold out a bit..!).

I can’t believe he’s been dropped from the schedules. At least give him one last show!!

Its standard conflict of interest management

The Beeb will not want him building following more before he leaves and he is going into direct competition with Greg

With Scott it was slightly different as he was staying internally however he did not once promote the fact he would be on R2 while he was still on R1

Yet now he is on R2 he often mentions stuff from R1 days and iroinically now uses his old 82A studio

Can assume that the tabloids will probably trying to work to get a scoop from the BBC about his rushed exit before thThe end of the month. Can imagine it will be another P.R muck-up and something that online news sources will work to capitalise on.

Not when there has been no official release about his next job and hasn’t started a promotional campaign for a rival network. He was still pressed to work until early march and has been personally quiet. So he’s yet to promote any move if they weren’t going to allow him to continue doing his show why did they include it in the press announcement.

Yeah I imagine Jordan is probably on what is the equivalent of “garden leave” now. May well have kept it quiet until he handed in his notice this week which wouldn’t have given much time to manage leaving. Don’t blame him at all - he’ll be paid his worth at Capital. This is huge for him but can see why it would not have gone down well with BBC bosses.

I predict Katie and Vick all next week 

Katie’s on holiday next week so I suspect it will be Vick solo who’s left to deal with it (unless they stick Arielle or Nat on with her).

it’s not like they’ll be mentioning him, especially as it’s Mega Massive Mondays.

If he was on gardening leave I don’t know why it was announced in the press release that he was staying on.

Cant imagine show as they never address the elephant in the room after someone has been dropped from the schedule.

Would also make sense with that team meal they posted on Instagram stories yesterday. it was a running thing on the show that they never get round to meeting up outside of the show; sure it was Jordan’s birthday this week but they did gifts live on the show, so combined as a leaving meal too perhaps?

As I said earlier (I am a radio professional and know these things) he will be bound by an NDA about the new job so cannot comment. The Beeb would have put him on Gardening leave immediately as his new role is a conflict of interest.

Unles I’ve missed something, I’m not sure they did say he was staying on in the release? Jamie comes in on the 4th but doesn’t give any mention to Jordan’s last show (albeit if it was yesterday or if is in the future, which doesn’t look likely based on schedules)

You can't imagine the dinner wasn't linked to his departure.  He isn't the sort of guy that wouldn't have told them.

But seems to be a P.R mess up if they stated that only a few hours ago when they announced that he was to leave and his last show would air early march. They should’ve pre-determined any conflict of interests if there were any ahead of the P.R public statement. If the BBC knowingly released the statement at the time that he had presented his last show after an agreed conflict of interest the statement should’ve reflected that he had already presented his last show which is uncommon from any press release. The fact is they seemed to falsely state a conflict in decision making.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
