Radio authority Patrick Kicken expects that Gordon and Froukje de Both will be allowed to stay on as Radio 10’s morning jocks until the summer, but will then have to make way. “These are the successors.”
Patrick Kicken, the radio’s Tina Nijkamp, has been hinting for some time that Gordon and Froukje de Both will be removed from the morning of Radio 10 due to disappointing listening figures. There was gossip that Eddy Keur would take over, but according to Patrick, two new names are now circulating: Jan-Willem Roodbeen and Jeroen Kijk in de Vegte.
Dealing a blow
Something has to be done, Patrick believes. “Talpa’s Radio 10 is in dire straits; in the last listening figure measurement, the station is at number nine and, compared to a year ago, is the biggest loser in market share,” he writes in his column. Speaking tube.
“It has everything to do with John’s mistake to program Gordon in the morning there and he now wants to make up for that mistake by dealing a mega blow to market leader NPO Radio 2.”
Jan-Willem
According to Patrick, there are two serious candidates. “It is an open secret that the makers of the morning show at market leader NPO Radio 2, Jan-Willem Roodbeen and Jeroen Kijk in de Vegte, almost agreed with John de Mol to provide the morning at Radio 10 more than two years ago.”
He continues: “The negotiations then failed due to the fact that they did not want any interference in their program from above. Now that we are a fiasco further in the morning of 10, this is suddenly no longer a problem, which clears the way for the gentlemen to earn more than double their current salary and be given carte blanche.”
Summer layoff
When will Gordon hear about his demotion according to Patrick? As soon as the two gentlemen from the NPO can come over. “Their contract expires in June of this year and has been extended for three years in the summer of 2023, so that is certainly a piece of cake.”
Who else does he think will come across? Ruud de Wild. “De Wild will be 57 in a few months, so he fits in perfectly with the Radio 10 audience, especially if he can earn double that, say around four hundred thousand.”
