Blimey, didn't see that coming.

Where does that leave his Radio 2 show, PoV and election bits?

Personally, I'd rather watch Tim Vine present the new programme.

Doesn't say if Jeremy is leaving his Radio Two show - which starts 45 minutes after the end of the current end time of The Wright Stuff.

Would have thought, he would stop at BBC Radio Two (would get 3-4 times the amount of listeners than he would viewers I'd have thought) and the end time of the tv show moved back to sometime around 10.30-11.00 - just to give him time to get from 200 GIR to BH, and prepare for the radio show,

Good choice, but does that mean he's leaving Radio 2?doesnt sound like it

Confirms there's a name change to the show in September as well.

I suspect Vine will continue to work at Radio 2, the distance between GiN and Wogan House isn't that far for which I suspect ITN will pay for a bike to transfer him between both sites.

The name change was never in question

Doing both shows will be tricky despite the distance. He'd be doing a 2 hour TV show and then a 2 hour radio show with little time to prep the second.... might not even have time to pop in to do the trail with Ken Bruce

Presumably, any mention of the host's name in the title/branding will now either be a suffix to an otherwise generic title (e.g. "Live Talk ...with Jeremy Vine" ), or it'll just be something as basic as e.g. "(The) Jeremy Vine (Show/Live)".

Can't really think of a relevant pun à la "right/Wright" for the name Vine (and/or Jeremy, Jez, Jezza etc!).

"(I Heard It Through) The Grape- Vine " is about the best that I can come up with. Which is utterly terrible.

It still doesn't give him much preparation time for Radio 2. 45 minutes minus travel time isn't long to prep for a radio discussion programme and make sure you're across everything, even if some of the topics might also have featured on the Channel 5 show.

Bring back the 5's Company name, I say.

I wouldn't be shocked if they make the new show shorter than The Wright Stuff.

Vine will juggle his new role alongside his daily BBC Radio 2 show.
