I'm guessing they'll both bring some Radio 1 standards to Capital that I haven't really felt were there with Roman. I think it's fascinating seeing what's happening at commercial radio, and the choice now out there.

When do we think it will start? Jordan's contract didn't expire until September so could we be waiting a while?

If so, it gives Aled some time to get his ducks in a row. Jamie could be temporary, allowing a bigger reshuffle ready to fight Capital.

I can’t see it been so late

When sonny left it was almost instant

i think we can expect an announcement Monday morning with Jordan been brought into the studio and perhaps romans last week

Reading between the lines on global marketing of the show from capital breakfast with Roman Kemp to “with Roman , Chris and Sian “ was a subtle hint to less focus on all been about Roman

 

when a bbc show changes it gets a whole new feel, capital seem to like a gradual approach to keep listeners already established 

global seems a more long term plan for presenters now, nothing to say he couldn’t go to radio x in a few years to succeed moyles after the capital breakfast gig

 

Ironic that commercial radio was just a few years ago awash with celebs without a radio career crowbarred into one, now it seems a little of the opposite

Yeah I feel like by September drive could be a different lineup entirely to now.   

I massively agree with this. Vick isn't going to want to stay that long surely. Travels with Calvin, brand deals, tv shows (of which seem to be more and more) It was probably much too soon for her to simply leave when Jordan did and in reality it probably happened far too quickly to make a decision about her career.

I also wonder with the amount of time off she has and Jamie didn't seem to be always there even in the few weeks of mat cover, Katie could end up with a lot of cover work from it.

Let's also say Jamie is interim, it plugs a gap and management have the rest of the spring and summer to come up with a decent line up that will carry the station forward

Nothing about Jamie’s instagram post suggests it’s temporary 

Well no, but he is probably only on a 6 month contract to meet up with Vick Hope’s renewal being in September. She wouldn’t be able to leave before hand without repercussions for herself  

Maybe they’ll click and the show will get extended by another 12 months, but I really can’t see either being there in September 2025.

Yes a very possible theory that they would get them to match up. I feel like Vick wouldn't have wanted to have been rushed into a decision about leaving so soon and this all looks to have come about fairly quickly. It makes sense to stick with it for now and leave if she wanted to, on her own terms

I did not know until today but Jordan and Roman have the same management.  So they would have know before anyone else the gig was available, how much he could make and make sure Jordan signed to get the deal signed.  Handy that.

The More I think about it

the more I think it’s possible Roman could return to radio for a less demanding role than breakfast which could work alongside his one show commitments and other work

it seems him and vick have busy schedules, be a great move by bbc to get him on board Radio1’s maybe presenting a Friday afternoon show with vick - what a switch that would be

I was thinking last night this is one hell of a gamble for Jordan what if breakfast doesn’t work out for him on capital he gave up the chance of breakfast on radio 1 

I think the key phrase is "chance of breakfast on Radio 1" - he had no guarantee of it and as said various times on here - time was starting to run against him.  Plus add in some of the high profile surprising decisions - Dean & Vicky, Jamie Laing - he could easily have been passed over.

And actually - it's totally not impossible that he goes to Capital Breakfast and comes back to Radio 1 to take over from Greg.  Highly unlikely but if the BBC really really wanted him for that gig, nothing to stop it happening.

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
