Capital Radio's breakfast presenters have been really chuffed with the lovely comments you've left about the programme, and they want to give something back. So next week they've offered to come on the forums and answer some of your questions. Get your thinking caps on and post your questions for Chris and Jordan here. And who knows, they might rope Sian into it too. They'll have the licence to answer what they want, and I'm sure you have plenty of questions!

Since Capital has a reputation for being very slick, I would be interested to hear your thoughts on how that is achieved and what it feels like to work to such a standard?

Considering you both worked at R1 before, what are the biggest differences in production between them and Capital? 

Despite the ‘slickness’ on air, it sounds like you’re having a good laugh as mates, do you have to rein yourselves in at all, given how well you all know eachother?

I’ve loved the new show this week, can really hear how original capital listeners and original radio 1 fans have been brought together and united in this perfect start to the day show. So fun and a great listen

 

What were the stress dreams before starting the new show?

Did it ever cross your mind Jordan and Chris you would be working together again after been together when you covered scott? And how’s the reunion been

most surreal moment so far?

Chris, do you think there's scope for a Scott and Chris podcast one day? Love the new energy with Jordan, but would still love to hear you with the OG!

How do you all find balacing successful podcasts while also doing the breakfast show?

Hi to both, miss you loads on radio 1 and hope that you’re doing good at capital 🙏

 

What was the background to your exits from Radio 1? Do you have any regrets from how it ended? 
 

This one’s more to Jordan, but do you enjoy TV presenting more than radio? What are your targets in TV?

Who are your favourite artists that are not anywhere close to being on the playlist?  

Are there ever songs that make you want to start pulling your hair out (in general, no need to put anyone on blast lol)?

How are you finding the early mornings, and having your afternoons free?

Was it easy getting to grips with a different desk and play out system?

Do you have any upcoming OBs and anything else exciting planned for the show that you can exclusively share with Unofficialmills? 😀

You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?

 

I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital?

Did it take a lot of tempting to go to Capital Jordan? Did you feel like you’d achieved everything you could at Radio 1 (other than breakfast)?

Chris, how did your Capital move come about? Did Radio 1 want you to stay after Scott moved on?

The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital

A few quickfire questions:

You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air?

Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first?

Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Greg is doing Breakfast from 7am-11am on 23rd May which is a thirty minute extension of his usual Friday show and consistent with Big Weekend timings. Also it looks like from the 1st June, Radio 1 Chillout Anthems at 4am is being replaced by Radio 1 Anthems with Maia Beth and will also air at the same time on a Sunday.

      I mean I've been growing our engagement on Facebook in my department, there's still an untapped audience there. Also, as you alude to, the number of community groups has grown a lot since lockdown. I'd love to hear more about their thinking. If this had been Radio 1's strategy I don't think anyone would have disagreed.

      I think they must’ve been slowly killing of their social media presence I know for Radio 2 and 6 they do have dedicated unofficial social media groups so there is an audience. All Request Friday and features like that has a place on social media as can get requests via comment sections but I think Facebook struggles to know what it is these days.

      I just think it's more about what they're doing. If all you've got is a DJ dancing to Beyonce's latest hit for thirty seconds or Sara Cox reading out the All Request Friday number in a funny way it's not really what Facebook prioritises. I think it's great that studio interaction, but it does lend itself to Instagram and TikTok more. But I honestly believe there is a place for Facebook with the Radio 2 audience. The trouble is Radio 2 have barely used Facebook for the last year so there doesn't seem to have been a strategy there.

      Agree, all I'd see on x was medical professionals from other health trusts having a very carefully worded pop at each other, mixed in with a clip of jeremy vine with a camera on his helmet, a very strange place indeed! I imagine they have some data to back it up, but is the r2 audience really using tiktok?

      I get not putting resources into X which these days is a strange mix of angry political debate and adult content only. But you'd think Facebook was still the most popular social channel amongst Radio 2 audiences.

      Radio 2 seem to have decided that their strategy is just short video, so it does probably make sense with Instagram and TikTok. But I find it hard to believe there's not longer form content that wouldn't suit Facebook better.

      These late announcements are so lacklustre. It's not quite like the time they announced Harry Styles last minute!

      Probably got fed up of the usual moaning bastards all over it, asking for Ken Bruce and Jimmy Young back on air.

      Think it may have been better to include Radio 1 in this and 1 xtra ultimately focus on boosting a BBC Sounds social media to bring the multi-generational content marketed to a broader audience through one singular channel and having a separate social brand skewed to younger audiences maybe they should consider just having a @BBC @BBCSounds  @BBCSport @BBCNews @BBCFresh (youth brand) social media acounts national.

      Although a lot of their target audience do seem to be moving across to Instagram now.

      I suppose it's because not a lot of people use Twitter (or X) so maybe it's not worth their time, surprised about Facebook though.

      Surprised to learn Radio 2 and 6 Music are moving away from X and Facebook, I would have thought there's more appeal in Radio 1 doing that instead. Their target audiences still use Facebook, and it's still a key way to reach a good mix of audiences. Agree about X though, don't see any need for it. https://radiotoday.co.uk/2024/05/bbc-radio-2-and-6-music-quit-facebook-and-x-publishing/

      Just wondering…has any DJ got the answer wrong yet? I’ve not heard one and they are pretty tough questions! 😆
