Has that been announced anywhere?

Listening now. Kemi Rogers just said they’ll be announcing who is joining Chris and Sian “very soon” and to keep listening…

I know it's a different kettle of fishh because Roman isn't moving to a rival station, but the contrast between Roman announcing he is leaving and the outpouring of love, and the BBC cancelling Jordan I find really jarring.

I really don't see why they couldn't even have given Jordan one last week with the strict understanding he doesn't mention where he is going and Capital don't overly promote his move beyond an announcement.

I think Radio 1 did the right thing on Friday. By Radio 1 doing what they have done they broken the story into two and stole the shock element so it won't be front page news anymore.

The obvious thing to do would have been to announce he was going last Wednesday and then have a last show on Thursday, before kemp announced he was leaving, but we don’t know if he had even confirmed he was leaving by that point.

The difference in treatment though is telling - Global can often be seen as more cold and clinical but there was a lot of warmth with Roman’s announcement he was leaving and allowing listeners to enjoy the last few weeks.

I get the situation with Jordan is a little different but surely you could give him a last show or if Radio 1 are really that frightened of the C word being mentioned you can even pre-record a segment (so you know he won’t mention Capital by name or anything) where he can say a proper goodbye on air.

Though given Adele Roberts got the same treatment as Jordan despite not even moving to a competitor and having gone through so much personally in the last few years the Radio 1 treatment for departing DJs these days seems to be of the ‘there ain’t no monorail and there never was’ variety.

I wonder what happened with Adele - we know she was looking after her sick mum but feels odd she just disappeared given how much love there was for her.

Roman Kemp has said hosting the Capital breakfast show over the past four years was like reliving the "horrible day" of the death of his friend and producer "over and over again".

Kemp was in the middle of an edition of his radio show in August 2020 when he found out Joe Lyons had killed himself.

"I went through such a horrible moment in that room, in that studio," he said.

"Four years on and I've been living that same day over and over again, without the awful event."

Kemp presented his final show on the station on Friday.

    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot 
    • I’m thinking the same redding and Leeds etc 
    • -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
    • - Jamie Laing will take a break from Going Home from 28th July. Sam and Danni will cover. - Greg James will host his show until 11am from 21st July (Monday to Thursday only). - Mylo and Rosie, who previously hosted Hits Radio Breakfast in West Yorkshire, will host Friday EB in July. - Charley Marlowe of TikTok fame will host Friday EB in August. - Tskenya Frazer will host Life Hacks with Lauren Layfield in July, whilst Yinka Bikinni will host with Lauren in August. - Jamie Laing and Katie Thistleton will return to Going Home in September.
