I remember when he quit Viking for Galaxy, EMAP stuck him on overnights in notice period.
In recent Moyles thread I suggested that sometime in the future he and Hirsty would work together on something. So who knows, that may come true - they were out yesterday per Twitter feed.
So I'm now stuck at what to listen to at breakfast again. After Jk & Joel left Viking, I listened to Hirsty morning glory, then Dose, before defecting to Moyles. Eventually I settled back to Hirsty but only because of him rather than wanting to listen to Capital.
Any recommendations, Lincs based but receive Yorks DAB?

Assuming you mean Saturday, yes they both appeared on stage at the Let's Rock Leeds 80's festival. This surprised me and my friends - we were hoping for a big radio announcement!
Kyle Davies is responsible! See below! And on his last day!

Hirsty is actually worse at answering the questions than he is at asking them! #useless

I think they will all due leave last week because of the 24 hour in Barcelona promotion, so Hirsty wasnt due in anyway, thats why it took until Friday to release the news.
The trouble is, Global's removal of all evidence that he was ever there, (from the Capital / Gold websites) gives the impression (rightly or wrongly) that he was pushed.
This is a pretty shock announcement to be honest. If it was personal reasons that Simon couldn't commit to mornings; wouldn't it of made sense to pull him from schedule for 3 months and then bring him back in somewhere else? To have so little time to announce the exit and not even have a "final week" after doing 11 years (with such a core listener following) is absurd.
He's in the same league as Chris Moyles. Clever radio head who has a clear passion for music and the radio medium. His anonymous confessional will go down as one of my all time favourite features. I'm surprised BBC Radio 1 never made a dive for him years ago before/after Chris Moyle's time at the station.
If it's a personal illness after some bad events that have happened recently, then I hope he returns to full health. A BBC presenting post would be fitting for Simon if he gets the chance. Would be shame for him to leave Radio along with Moyles with no indication for a return.

Hirsty was out on the beer with Moyles the day of the announcement. Pictures on his Twitter account. Maybe Moyles helped Simon to reach his decision.
I wonder if Danny and JoJo are running down their contracts and gives them chance to try Adam O'Neill out/find a new co-host.
I am sure they said they had recently got another year.
Listened to 20 minutes on and off this morning seems to be same show Fitty 500 remains and other features I guess. Just known as Capital Breakfast - Hirsty's Daily dose was a great name.

I think Danny and JoJo should just present the breakfast show themselves. No need for a new co host. I do imagine the JoJo will pack it in eventually as she is the only original presenter left as she started when Kiss 105 started on the 14th February 1997.

Maybe so. Doing those early mornings and being consistently in the public eye probably doesn't do anyone good.
There's hoping Chris and Simon get together to either join one station to resurge it or do a pet project involving radio someway. They'll both have plenty of money and experience between them.
It must be awful for them. I suspect they'll want to try something less taxing, like wiping arses for the minimum wage.
Not many people would want to get up at 4am everyday and have the confidence to speak to millions of people 5 days a week. There's not an emotional element to wiping arses.
Passengers, those arses you speak of belong to people, most of whom are disabled through no fault of their own.
I agree carers should be paid more, but think about how dehumanising what you are saying is for the people who depend on their service, kindness and compassion. I'm not just an arse to be wiped - human like you.
My apologies for the flippant remark, it was a clumsy way of making the point that there are many jobs that are a million times more taxing than presenting a breakfast show.
Its not the first time Global have suddenly dropped a breakfast show presenter. They dropped Mark Forrest from the early brakfast programme on Classic FM without any notice about a couple of years ago.

And as I previously said, they did it with Johnny Vaughn on Capital London, which at the time was London’s most listened to breakfast show.

True. However gone from twitter; twitter.com/hirstycapital - imagine they will change it to a generic name now.

Maybe you should wipe your own before speaking.
I agree carers should be paid more, but think about how dehumanising what you are saying is for the people who depend on their service, kindness and compassion. I'm not just an arse to be wiped - human like you.
I can even talk and think.
And as I previously said, they did it with Johnny Vaughn on Capital London, which at the time was London’s most listened to breakfast show.
The fact he has just recorded something could suggest he's not finishing with radio anymore?
If you play it backwards.... he tells you what station he's going to...
Incidentally, isn't Aire the only one he hasn't worked at?
Simon was at Aire in 1992... it was his first gig
