13 years of Chris Moyles on Radio 1

And who else would not only fight for all the things he's allowed to get away with, but also be allowed by Radio One to fight for all those things? Chris is the last of a dying breed. Once Chris and Scott are gone, everyone else is a contracted piece of the Radio One puzzle that will conform or be lost in the shuffle.

How brilliant were those archived clips they played on the show this morning?! Hats off to Moyles, not everyone in broadcasting has such longevity... 13 years on and STILL producing original and entertaining radio is some good work!

Can't we talk this through? Actions are not what I'm used to...

Can't beat Moyles on R1. Although Scott Mills would be the obvious replacement.

thing is, scott is of the same generation. afterall, he joined radio 1 in 1998. of course i'd personally like to see him take on breakfast if moyles ever went, however the radio 1 managment don't see it that way. i'm dreading who they will bring in to replace either scott or chris when they go. a dj that sounds exactly as bland as the other 4 daytime dj's that they could be amongst.

on the grid.

Agree with DC. Sadly I think time has passed fro Scott to take on Breakfast, and as much as we would all like to see him there, he too has been at the station for 12 years and so its unlikely the breakfast show will be given to an "old timer" now!

I can see perhaps Grimshaw or Reggie taking on the Breakfast show.

Moyles you are one of the last of a generation of fantastic DJ's that Ive listned to trhoughout my teens and now early (mid?!) 20's! Its been great and I hope it has a little longer left before we finally see the manufactured, contracted garbage take over!

Come to think of it, even though it wouldn't be a popular move, I think Grimmy could do a decent job of the breakfast show.

In 2011, Moyles' and Mills' contracts run out, and 6music will carry on broadcasting from 2011 onwards. Nice coincidence there.

(I am assuming that both contracts are not being renewed, and I think it is highly unlikely that Mills or Moyles will still be on their current slots in late 2011...)

I wasn't thinking of that, and I can't imagne that happening either. But I think if Moyles and Mills will have left, Radio 1 will sound completely different. Without these two, and Whiley, there's not much left on Radio 1 that makes me want to tune in. I don't know who's going to be brought in, but judged by recent additions to the DJ-team, I don't expect too much...

And if I don't listen to Radio 1 anymore, 6music iy probably going to be my choice.

I'm not exactly 15 any more, you know ;)

    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
