It'll be partly that, although I'm sure like others who've left for Global or Bauer he'd be professional enough not to promote his new employers on air, nor slag off his current one. It's not a DLT problem, nor a Danny Baker situation where he's unhappy with the management

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. Think of the next Greg James stunt for example, they'll be thinking about that now and they won't want their rivals breakfast show host knowing when it is or what they're doing.


With my two examples above it was the same... The news presenter worked in a newsroom where items were being planned for the next 6 months. My friend who worked in Soho dealt with customers, they didn't want the contacts taken over or him telling them where he was going

People in broadcasting often know what their rivals are doing anyway.
