I am attending the funeral of my aunt Matilda today.Her 94 years of life were full and fascinating .I shall wipe a tear or 2 away i suspect. about 8 hours ago via web

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

maternal skills and dedication? Is she talking about a different Sara J Cox?

[deanrwood]

has Chris Moyles signed a new contract yet, i think it run out on friday??

[John]

Did anyone hear how he finished the show on Friday? Just before the handover to Fearne? Just as The Verve was starting...

Chris: Last song from us on BBC Radio 1, thank you for listening, have a great life.

Dave: And a great weekend

Chris: From all of us to all you... bye bye.

But then no mention of anything in the handover.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

I reckon Monday's show will start with some sort of gag, maybe some dead air or a phone call from someone to Chris, who may act as if he's just woken up or something?

[The Stig]

A lack of announcement either way at this late stage concerns me. Losing Chris Moyles at this stage would be a big blow for Radio 1.

[John]

Maybe Monday morning we'll know a whole lot more. Always said the day I find a new station is when Moyles leaves.

[DarkAngelMJH]

It would have been announced if he was leaving and then a massive advert about who was taking over.

[fathomer90]

What do we know?

1. No new contract has been signed. He is doing the show without a contract currently.

2. July is the time when a Radio 1 reshuffle is always announced.

3. He has been doing the show for 6.5 years.

4. Radio 1 are making a big effort to get younger listeners.

5. Recently, you may have noticed Dom left Newsbeat and signed a contract of his own with R1. The whole team are effectively a separate entity within Radio 1. Makes it easier for when they move to commercial radio for Chris, Dave and Dom to make a bunk together.

There is certainly something going on.

[xDezezxD]

I hope Moyles don't leave!!!! I won't be able to wake up properly without Moyles on the airwaves lolz XXD

[John]

Who's to say Chris will move to local radio? I can honestly see him on Radio 2 one day! When that day will be, who knows?

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

What do we know?

1. No new contract has been signed. He is doing the show without a contract currently

Do we know this for absolutely certain though? Are we sure nothing's been done on the quiet?

[James R]

Dom signing with R1 is irrelivant he is a newsbeat reporter and would still have a job even if Chris did leave. I think people on here & CM.NET are reading far too much into it

Maybe so, but nothing lasts forever. One day he will leave. And I do believe its getting sooner rather than later. Doubt its tomorrow personally, but I wouldn't be surprised if we heard something soon.

Indeed he will move on much like Chappers I dont doubt that

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Thing is, as much as going to a commercial station may see him being paid more etc, there'd be so many other restrictions and rules which commercial stations might enforce where the BBC has given him a LOT of (earned) leeway, for instance, they may want him to play more music than he does on the breakfast show etc, and also commercials. I think he's best sticking with BBC for now at least.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Moyles has just tweeted about being on air in the morning

Top day. Silverstone, home by 4, late lunch with my folks, watched Spain win, on air tomorrow and can't wait. Bed time after James Corden..! 3 minutes ago via Twitter for iPhone

[James R]

I think this is a long winded way of saying she LOST

Well, if Moyles leaves the mornings for a different station I'll change as well. The mornings just aren't the same without him.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

hahhaha 'She' either worked for George W Bush or is actually Chemical Ali

[James R]

I just had to express my joy at hearing @sarajcox back on the radio 1 breakfast show today.Hopefully the end is finally nigh for Mr Moyles 12:34 PM Sep 2nd via web

How many followers does she have now? More than the actual Chris Moyles, in question, I assume?
