Roman Kemp has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind, and when it comes to his departure from the Capital Breakfast show, he had a lot to get off his chest. "I wanted a proper announcement," Roman said with a mix of disappointment and frustration, "not having reports circulate on a Friday and then me being left to address it on air the next Monday." Roman's unhappiness with how the news broke isn't just about professional courtesy; it's personal. To him, the announcement wasn't just a formality but a chance to properly thank his listeners and colleagues, giving the moment the weight and reverence it deserved. The haphazard way it unfolded left him feeling underappreciated and reduced what should have been a significant moment in his career to mere gossip fodder. "I've always valued transparency and respect in this industry," Roman continued, "and it felt like neither was there when it came to sharing this important news. These are the people I've shared my mornings with, and they deserved better."

His words resonated deeply with listeners who have come to love his straightforward approach and sense of integrity. For Roman, it wasn't just about the career move but about maintaining the relationships and trust he'd built up over the years. "Leaving Capital Breakfast was a huge decision," he elaborated. "It's been such a big part of my life, and I wanted to ensure that transition was handled with the same care and respect that I tried to bring to every show." While Roman has big plans for the future, he wants his audience to know that his departure from the morning show doesn’t mean he's leaving them behind. "This isn't goodbye; it's just a change in direction," he assured. "You’ve all been such an essential part of my journey, and I'm excited about what comes next—for all of us."

Roman’s candidness also highlighted a broader issue in the industry: the gap between corporate handling of talent and the personal connections that broadcasters cultivate with their audience. "We talk a lot about authenticity in this business," he pointed out. “But moments like these reveal the work that still needs to be done behind the scenes.” Listeners rallied in support after hearing his side of the story, with many echoing his sentiment that he deserved a better send-off. Knowing Roman, though, he'll undoubtedly turn this experience into a positive, using it as a stepping stone to even greater heights. Whether it's new projects in radio, television, or beyond, his loyal following will undoubtedly be right there with him, ready to support and cheer him on every step of the way.
