Johnny Vaughan is to team up with Denise Van Outen again this month as part of Capital Radio's "new look" breakfast show. Both presenters will be paid £1 million and hope this will gain the listeners lost when Chris Tarrant stepped down from breakfast.

The pair were quite good on the Big Breakfast but will they be strong enough to take on Moyles in London? Or will she be the final nail in the coffin for the show?

When you're on a national radio station with a listenership of 8 million people you don't need to worry about some local radio station dj and his sidekick.

Moyles' biggest compettition comes from Christian O'Connel on Virgin which is why he never gets mentioned. People outside the M25 (crazy I know but there are places) don't care about Johnny Vaughn or Crapital.

I think the trouble with Capital these days is it doesn't have a unique sound. It no longer plays the songs that it used to that made it stand out from Radio 1. Now local stations just seem to morph into playing whatever 'the greatest radio station in the world' plays.

The only songs that differ on their playlist to Radio 1 is Enrique Iglesias, Janet Jackson, and Joss Stone.

They had it right, now too many want to be Radio 1 these days.

Browsing Capital's website etc. I Can't find ANY info on this? What is the source?

Daily Mail.

They dont usually put their own news on their website until its done and dusted, but its been all over the newspapers today. It seems 95.8 are after the chemistry they created on the telly. Should be good, and well done to Van Outen!

Its actually a good station, and Johnny is doing okay as a presenter. Why do you kids give other stations such a hard time? The chemistry between them hopefully is still there. :)

Kids?

I have listened to Vaughn occasionally and found him to be very boring, he doesn't actually seem to say anything that interests me. It's all banal waffle, I like my morning show to be a bit more random and a lot less "nice"

I give other stations a hard time because I love radio and most other stations exist purely to make money for the investors rather than seeing the adverts as a way to finance the station. All GWR stations sound the same, they are the McDonalds of Radio and every presenter/ station is indistinguishable from another. The same can generally be said of Capital stations as well although they do allow slightly more personality.

Scott's original station (PowerFM) was my local station and I couldn't stand it. It played the most mundane middle of the road tripe and seemed to have an ad break every 5 minutes that lasted for 10 minutes and it was the same adverts in the same order over and over again.

I could go on but fear of using Jono's yearly bandwith allowance prevents me.

This time last year I was listening to O'Connell on Virgin. It's not a bad show at all, though still not in Moyles' league.

Agree with Andy about Johnny Vaughan. His show is fairly uneventful. It just plods along, planned out in advance and not very spontaneous.

they can have their little shows on capital and virgin. but what people fail to realise is that everyone dosent live in london. not everybody can be arsed to fork out for a dab radio everywhere they need to listen, or put up with virgins signal on medium wave. thats where radio 1 will always hold an advantage, through fm.

on the grid.

I can't believe there is a world outside the M25! Surely everyone has access to some of the finest galleries, museums, live shows, art, culture, restaurants, bars, clubs and public transport system in the world!

Hehehehe I've become a proper london Tw@t

Maybe Denise should have the show, and Johnny should go. I think she's more talented judging by her theatrical work.

She definitely has talent theatrically, didn't she do a lengthy run on stage on Broadway in the States? As to whether that makes her a good radio presenter I'm not so sure as it's a different talent. Johnny Yawn just annoys me these days - his time is up.

Or even better, make them into glue.

Haha, yes. Or handbags/coats. Vaughn might even make good dogfood.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.

      It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html

      I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown

      The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.
