The problem will be more to do with confidentiality and competition. The longer he's at Radio 1 the more he'll know about what the station's got coming up in the next 6 months.... what their promotions will be, any special programmes coming up.

Certainly true in the longer term, but probably wouldn't preclude doing one last "goodbye" show.
