Jamie Laing does feel like a temporary appointment but at that stage surely it would’ve been better to use Arielle with Vick? Pretty sure they did the show together once a couple of years ago and it worked well.

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 ?

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.

      I’m have no interest in listening to GK Barry so it shall be Sounds or Spotify for me.

      Agree completely about not having her on a Thursday, but 2 solid weeks would most likely be too much!!

      Let's hope so, as forcibly taking off one of the best shows on the station one day a week would rival Aled's employment of Danny Beard as his worst decision.

      Matt was doing this musical thing so could be that?

      This GK Barry thing is so weird. Surely they’d give her a slot in the summer instead of ripping up the schedule at the start of the year. Casual listeners will think the change is permanent as it’s lined up with the rest of the schedule changing.    Surely doing the two week stint that James is doing on Going Home would be better.

      Oh I’d forgotten about GK Barry. I do wonder whether Matt & Mollie requested to drop Thursdays or were forced. It’s so random to have a different show on a Thursday afternoon

      Some notes about the schedules released from the 5th September. James is still down to do Weekend Breakfast, it might be his last weekend. Nat and Vicky are down to do the 4th-5th September but generic listings on the 6th Sep. Callum Leslie in for Lauren on Life Hacks. Looks like there will be an Indie show on both the 6th and 8th September as it moves to it new slot. GK Barry begins her run of shows on the 10th September, it's called The GK Barry Show on Radio 1.

      Agreed. I wasn't expecting the gap to be as long as this, and we've not even got an announcement yet. I know they needed to get breakfast sorted, but we knew who was taking over within 4 weeks of Gary stepping in.

      In fairness almost all the presenters this summer have done two week stints. It’s bizarre that the interim show itself is continuing this far into the year though.

      W/C 7th September. Rather unsurprisingly, a new drivetime show isn't being launched this week. Gary Davies is listed still. I wonder if he'll now do a stint on drive until any new show launches.

      Of course completely understand it's not the most important thing to work on, but that doesn't explain how some updates have been made and then removed, that's even more work than just doing the update and leaving it!
