It’s a real shame he’s leaving at all, but especially so suddenly and without a final show etc. Others going to commercial radio have been allowed that (Ken Bruce and Simon Mayo recently, was Mistajam on R1?), so seems it hasn’t been on good terms.

He’d make a lot of sense for Hits, which has more presence in the north and would be a good name to associate with the rebrand of the local stations, but I guess he’s off to Capital.

I think it's probably the aftermath of people like Ken Bruce & Simon Mayo that has lead to this new approach.

Chris Evans had about 3 months between announcing & leaving... and he basically copied the same show over to Virgin.

Kind of see where the BBC may be coming from, but also..... in the world of social media, EVERYONE will find out where Jordan North ends up next. So it seems a bit petty to not allow him to wrap up a decade of being associated with Radio 1 on the air.
