BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles is reportedly in talks to join US station Sirius Radio.

According to the News of the World, Moyles met with bosses at the satellite service in New York last month to discuss a multi-million pound deal. His BBC contract is up in July.

A source said: "Chris is preparing for life after Radio 1. He's massively in demand in America and isn't going to limp on if the BBC don't support him. Sirius is a huge radio company who pay their star presenters millions of dollars a year.

"They think he's a real talent and are desperate to sign him to launch him in the American market. Chris loves New York and, of course, nothing is forever so it's only sensible for him to start looking at what's next.

"He knows that going over to the US could end up meaning global success for him. For any big star over here breaking America is always the dream."

An insider added that the BBC "have made it quite clear they don't see him staying on at breakfast for another five years".

Who Is She?! Who Is She?! Where Did You Find Her?!

The mere mention of Chris Moyles name to a BBC executive these days puts them in a bad mood.His future is not on the BBC!

regarding his future intentions.The chances of them renewing his contract on favourable terms to him is diminishing to near zero.

Wait... "Moyles is massively in demand in America"? Since when? 99% of the country doesn't know him. Though Sirius carries Radio One, it's never pulled large listening figures (last official count two years ago was around 150,000 for a subscribership of 11 million). He's never appeared on TV or radio here elsewhere, so this would be a real surprise if Sirius snatched him up, and even then I don't know where they'd even fit him in.

I take this with a pinch of salt really. Moyles is probably coming to end of his time in the Breakfast show, but there's any number of options for places he could go. In the states he'd have big competition like Howard Stern.

It doesn't look like Howard is going to renew his contract. Plus Sirius would put him on an xL channel (one which is uncensored) that could be a big change to the show, which would be much more interesting and entertaining :]

True, but could you take four hours of Moyles without any breaks? Take the first half hour of his show and extend it FOREVER. Even I wouldn't stick around for that...

    • The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
