I still don’t quite get why Radio 1 didn’t announce Jordan’s departure on Thursday morning and say he’ll have a final goodbye show that day. Capital were never going to announce Roman’s departure before that because he was off last week so it couldn’t have been ruined by them either.

You instantly feel that Jordan's new show will work - he is friends with both Chris and Sian and this is where he really excels when he has a real bond with the people he is working with. Katie and him were truly amazing on Breakfast last summer - wouldn't be shocked if that influenced Capital.

It still feels so unreal that this time last week Jordan was doing his show as normal on R1, with no one suspecting a thing, then this morning he's sitting with Roman, Chris and Sian. 

With Jordan talking about the people and friends he'll now be on air with, it did genuinely feel like it was a huge part of the move. But could imagine Vick feeling a bit miffed at his words.

I'm not sure I'd read into that if I was Vick. The last meal seemed to suggest she'd given her blessing if they were aware at that point.

Will Manning now finds himself in almost exactly the same situation Scott was at R1. Been covering the breakfast show for years but clearly the bridesmaid never the bride, does the next biggest shows (Chart Show and Drive) but will likely never be promoted from that. 

Wouldn't surprise me if he's tempted to the BBC or Bauer now

Really really mixed emotions today no idea what to feel

I do wonder if any of Capital's current line up will have been annoyed that they were not picked and are now looking elsewhere?

Drive i dont think is as big of a deal for capital fm because i think for say people in Cardiff to Birmingham and then London there are regional drivetime programmes not aa national show

Slightly off topic, but I’d love to see Sian on radio 1 one day. She’s really good from the clips I’ve heard browsing socials 

She will of course be promoted in April when she replaces Jack in his evening slot (as he moves to future artists).

    • Saturday 8th August: Joel Dommett in for Dermot O'Leary  Ellie Taylor in for Emma Willis Sunday 9th August: Ricky Ross (lead singer of Deacon Blue) is presenting Sounds Of The 70's. W/C Monday 10th August: Joel Dommett is doing a second week on drivetime.   Clara Amfo sits in for Trevor Nelson on Thursday 13th August, with Mark Goodier sitting in on Friday 14th (Spoony's in Monday-Wednesday)
    • I was talking specially about summer ones. The Halloween ones are always mystery and never hunts (because they’re supposed to be small and quick presumably). 
    • Weekend Breakfast can become a bit of a content wasteland though. Look at the difference in show that Matt & Mollie did there compared to weekend afternoons. I totally agree with your point though, both shows are interchangeable but I think it’s a good call to have Mylo & Rosie on for 5 mornings a week. I haven’t seen it confirmed anywhere, but are we assuming they’ll still be Salford too? Could Emil being based in London mean that show is moved back there because weekends already have other Salford based shows?
    • Would the Murder Mystery from Halloween 2022 count?
    • Early and weekend breakfast I see as pretty similar. I expect Emil to do be doing quite a bit of weekday cover especially on going home so probably makes sense he does weekend breakfast. 
    • That's a good point about Giant Detention but I wouldn't say there's been an equal mix. We've had Giant Jigsaw, Giant DJ Hunt and Giant Face Off which were all hunt ones and before Giant Detention I think the last mystery one would've been Summer Breakout before Vick and Jordan started drive time.
    • Now I think about it, I’m surprised Mylo & Rosie and Emil Franchi weren’t the other way around. Wouldn’t it make more sense for a duo with years of breakfast experience to do weekend breakfast rather than be wasted on early breakfast? Not that Emil isn’t also more than capable but out of him and M+R pairing it would make more sense if he was on earlies? 
    • I didn't get a chance to reply. There aren't really many shocks though maybe; - James Cusack is a surprise exit but maybe he has something else lined up. A daily high profile show on a big network is likely to be better financially than being stuck on weekend breakfast at Radio 1 with no clear progression. - Going Home is clearly going to limp on as it is. - It feels strange Vicky Hawksworth is staying as no shows seem to have worked for her yet.  The new set-up for her doesn't feel like it will last forever. Nothing else is much of a surprise, presenters leaving that have reached the natural end of their Radio 1 life, full-time shows for tried and trusted cover and a big promotion for Jeremiah who has hardly been off daytime radio over the past year to 18 months.
    • Of course, me with short memory, that's likely! 😆
    • I would imagine they would be covering Going Home whilst Katie is on holiday
    • Would they be covering Breakfast?
    • 8th-9th August Mylo & Rosie in for Sam & Danni 9th August Pete Allison in for Lauren with Shanequa 10th-13th August Jerry in for Mollie with Matt Sam and Danni seems to be off their slots for a few weeks in August, wonder if they are covering elsewhere or just taking time off?
    • Saturday I reckon so, I don’t think they’d take him off lifehacks to do Sundays though but that is a possible could get away with a double shift.  
    • 14th August Mylo & Rosie in for Sam & Danni
    • Sorry I meant the week James is covering Greg, not next week.
