Next director general of BBC

[GrimsbyGal]

has a date been set yet?

[BBCAaron]

I assume the either Easter Monday or the Tuesday afterwards. With Global unless it is an unplanned departure they tend to just replace straight away.

[Greg20]

Yes, April 24. It’s on his X bio

I think that’s April 2024, given that’s a Wednesday.

Yes I reckon the Tuesday after Easter. Roman finishes this coming week.

They probably will announce it within next week and expect for the first month that Global may use its digital billboards and screens It owns across the country to display some promotional messaging for Jordan’s breakfast show and launch a marketing campaign around it.

I heard an advert on Capital earlier for the new show. Some sketch about not knowing what all the buttons did, but I wasn't listening properly.

What time-ish? 

[TheSaviourisHere]

Roman's final week this week so wont be long i imagine

[wbroom12]

Next week is will Manning all week. I'm guessing it'll be another week after that. Normally 2 week gap

[Dan18F1]

I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 

[TheSaviourisHere]

Jordan starts on the 8th.

Listen to one live and the other on catch up?

The big shoe

The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.
