Capital Breakfast Show with Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby launches in April
Jordan steps into the slot following the decision by Roman Kemp to step away from early mornings. Roman, after a decade with Capital, announced live on the breakfast programme back in February that he would be leaving the station just before Easter.
Roman said at the time of his announcement of pending departure, “I’ve loved every single moment of my time at Capital. The last 10 years have been amazing and hosting the legendary Capital Breakfast is the best job ever. But after almost seven years of early alarms, I’m looking forward to some lie-ins and it’s time to hand over the baton! It’s been a privilege and an honour to wake up millions of people every day. It’s the best job in radio and I’ll miss our listeners and the team at Global lots.”
Kemp joined Capital in 2014 going on to host the prestigious Capital Evening Show in 2016. In 2017 he moved to Capital Breakfast and took the show nationwide in 2019. Roman has a regular hosting role on BBC One’s The One Show.
