Chris Moyles: "BBC can't be bothered to pay me"

Personally I don't blame him for it, if any of us hadn't been paid for 2 months we'd be livid as well. It doesnt matter whether you earn £500,000 or £5,000 a year, the principle is the same, you do the work, you stick to your side of the contract and so should your employer.

I think the idiot who wrote this story needs to go back and look at something "For about 30 minutes from the start of his show at 6.30am, during which no records were played, Moyles railed against BBC management" Don't they listen to the show regularly? unless Vernon/Sara is covering for him or Scott's on breakfast, they tend to talk for the first half hour of the show anyway.

I do feel for the guy, I'd miss him if he wasnt on and no matter what your opinion of him, you can't say its right not to pay a man for 2 months work.

I have L spasms.

you also apparently have someone having a problem with everything you post.

How's THAT for trolling... (It is starting to look like overreaction and bullying from you Tom to be honest, no-one else seems bothered by the posts and also there's people doing worse and you're not saying owt to them)

Hell I've been annoyed when I've gone weeks without due to (not entirely unexpected) agency screwups and been straight on the phone demanding they raise a cheque/cash that I could collect that day. Once I even slightly exaggerated (although not actually by that much) that if they didn't pay me, they'd have to explain to my manager why I wouldn't be able to afford the fare to get in the next week.

He's still making the odd joke about it this morning, mainly because people are sending in messages of things like "Here's a tenner to get yourself a coffee"

This woman - by the way, the Guardian has better radio critics than that woman - is just giving him a tit for tat, isn't she? He mentions her on air, so she feels the need to write a comment in the Guardian. Seriously...

I'm absolutely with Chris in this matter: why is this news, exactly? Isn't there anything else going on in the world?

This supposed "30-min-rant" is a pure exaggeration. In the first half our of the wednesday's show, they played the cheesy song twice (the first being the Thursday-cheesy-song), and about half of the discussion was about missing milk and Johnny Vaughn's breakfast hampers. During the remaining 10 minutes or so, Chris talked about not being paid. Much less spectacular than I ecpected, after reading about the "30 minute on-air rant". Not every radio presenter would talk about payment issues on air, fine. But starting this witch-hunt all over again, every time, when Chris does something rather unusual on air...seriously, these press people need to get a life.

unique...

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
