I wonder if Katie doesn’t get a promotion to daytimes soon. I wonder if too soon she will go.

Don’t know if anyone else has seen but looks like Nikita Kanda is replacing Katie next week - she was definitely scheduled for next week earlier.

She said she is off on holidays next week

She did seem really taken back by the Jordan news today bless her

[Greg20]

Some other Radio 1 presenters have commented on Jordan’s leaving post on Radio 1 insta.

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

[Greg20]

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

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

[R1Fan1]

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..!).

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.

[Greg20]

I predict Katie and Vick all next week

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.

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.

 

[J_B]

Is this the first time we’ve seen a senior Radio 1 presenter move directly from the BBC to a huge slot on a commercial competitor? May well be why it’s caused such a stir.

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.

[Jono]

You'd have thought they'd at least get him on the phone pre-recorded at the very least.
