Dave was sitting in for Nick Grimshaw this morning in which is sure to be one of the first time he's presented a show on his own. Greg said he will be presenting the show tomorrow morning if Grimmy isn't any better by then.

Wow, didnt realise Dave was on. I hope its on the IPlayer!

Didnt think Dave could drive the desk nowadays ( i know he used to be a tech op) so would be interesting....

EDIT - Just listening to his first few links from today and it sounds good, he went into DJ mode in a few places :D

I listened back to it and it sounded as if he has done it himself because he flowed with it very well etc....and when he stopped talking you heard him move the fader up but as i said before i dident think he did control desks normally.....

You'd think Greg would be getting quite sick of it by now, they work him like a dog :(
I listened to the first half of the show on iplayer, and he did say he got the phone call and was like, here we go again... He sounds like he wants to get back to his own show!!

Greg appears to be by far the most enthusiastic DJ, he'll enjoy filling in but anyone would be becoming tired by now. He will be impressing the bosses though, despite the sheer quantity of shows he's been doing recently his standard hasn't dropped.

Im glad they rung Greg instead. I dont mind Annie but she gets abit annoying after a while......

I prefer Greg too, I was just thinking of other alternatives if they wanted to give Greg a break.

Oh yeah, I completely agree, and he'll take on everything he can manage because he wants to impress and he's enjoying it. He's still very much the new boy, every extra show he takes on, the more people hear him.

I hope he keeps going and eventually kicks out Jo Whiley! Daytimes would be slightly more interesting then.......If they also got someone else in for Edith that would make the whole of radio 1 listenable in the daytime.

Could you imagine Greg doing the water game with everyone in the live lounge? Would be most amusing :giggle:

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.

      Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).

      Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.

      Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background.

      They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.

      What's going on with Newsbeat?

      And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.

      I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.

      From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn

      All seems to be back to normal this morning.

      Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.

      It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore.

      Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.

      I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
