Jordan North to leave BBC Radio

[Quickenthetempo]

I've just seen on twitter he will be leaving the BBC radio
show he has.
Not sure the circumstances but the BBC are ruthless when they want you gone.
No time for sentiment.

He was a big character and always seemed to mention Burnley.

[Pickles]

Sounds like he's maybe going to Capital Breakfast to replace Roman Kemp. Jamie Laing as Jordan's replacement is an odd one.

[Swizzlestick]

Doesn’t sound an amicable one. Pretty terse statement and leaving with immediate effect. You can only imagine he’s been talking to other stations, most likely the Capital breakfast show. Great gig for him if he has got that.

So not the BBC being ruthless then?

[Rowls]

Typical loony leftie BBC.

[ISpeds00]

Got out while he can
Something is brewing

If you listen to past DJs who have worked for the BBC, they all say they haven't been able to leave on their terms, despite long service.

The BBC have announced this, not Jordan North. Which is why I said it looks like.

These past DJs sound a bit deluded then.
Who gets to leave the company they work for on their own terms ?
Bearing in mind that that the vast majority of these are set up as limited companies and they are presumably given pretty short contracts guess it’s all down to ratings and viewing / listener numbers.
They earn a lot of money whilst there and must understand it can be short lived (take a look at the kind of salaries the radio 2 presenters earn for example).

They should still be treated respectfully though - but we do only hear one side of the story from the DJs who will not have thought twice themselves when leaving other radio stations to join the BBC.

Here's Chris Moyles on his sacking.

Doesn’t sound great treatment but presumably they are contractually allowed to do that.
They are like zero hour contracted people but instead of earning minimum wage they make millions….and walk into another job.
It’s a ruthless highly remunerated industry and as said these DJs were happy to take the jobs when the prior incumbent was sacked.

Never heard one of his shows being an old fart and all that, but whenever I have seen him.on tv he always comes across as an a really decent popular bloke.

[BurnleyFC]

I like him for the good publicity he gives Burnley, and he seems like a genuinely good lad, but I’ve always thought he was a pretty terrible DJ, even going back to his Rock FM days.

They have since its inception - nothing changes

[AlargeClaret]

Does he still support Burnley ?

Does he still support Burnley ?

What kind of question is that?

Why wouldn’t he still support Burnley?

Easy to get your head turned in the Big Smoke!! Ther will be lots of people trying to tempt him to Chelsea and Arsenal.

Bit far fetched. Even if that did happen, who would care?

[Swizzlestick]

He mentions Burnley on pretty much every show.

His message on Instagram seems to allude to the fact he has something lined up.

i challenge anyone over the age of 25 to put some headphones on and listen to radio 1 for an hour.

Sorry yTib cant do, it's banned under Geneva Convention.

My wife still listens to it, whenever i have it on it's aimed at pre-18year olds i'm sure. Scott Mills was one of the worst, can't believe the radio 2 crowd will have taken to him! 50 year old, Dick and Dom level of entertainment shouting 'bogies'

[Rowls]

Jordan's in the Bob Lord today. Clearly everything has changed.

[Loyalclaret]

Probably supports Arsenal now

[wilks_bfc]

Maybe you’re right

He was at the came today with an Arsenal fan
