Moyles In Even More Controversy

Recommended Posts

PARANOID BBC bosses have banned Chris Moyles from discussing the Sky Sports sexism row - the only Radio 1 DJ to be gagged.

Cautious execs fear the blokey breakfast DJ, 36, will put his foot in it if he brings up the comments of Andy Gray and Richard Keys.

But pals say he's annoyed, as he thinks the pair are IDIOTS for demeaning women. Fellow jocks Greg James and Scott Mills have already featured the issue.

An insider said: "Chris isn't happy. His humour is near the knuckle - but what Gray and Keys did is bang out of order as far as he's concerned. It would have made a perfect discussion piece for his show. He's been unfairly singled out."

But Moyles, who ranted on air last year when bosses forgot to pay him, was carpeted in 2009 for mocking gay star Will Young's sexuality

As it's being reported in an arm of the Murdoch media, I'll take this with a pinch of salt.

Pretty sure we've seen in the past that Moyles can do self-censorship sometimes and that there are actually things HE refuses to discuss on air, if he's said nothing about the Sky Sports mess, maybe it's due to that?

Professional eater of puppy dogs, baby heads and killer of grannies...

There is other reports online but they all refer to what the 'spokesman' told the sun. Although Moyles was discussing sexism the other day at the beginning of the week

I notice they also use the old cliches of 'A Pal' and 'an Insider' who 'told us things'... pretty sure Pals and Insiders are usually inside the hack's (I refuse to call them 'journalists' if they work for The Sun) heads.

We now know why he is being censored :hahaha:

Thought that... thing, whatever it is, had 'given up' and admitted defeat? *more skeptical than ever*

No the campaign is back on after meeting the head of BBC music :rolleyes:

Although surely the head of BBC MUSIC doesnt have much say in the DJ's themselves more-so the music content

Bloody hell is that BARFolemew creature still mouthing off to her possy of a dozen or so?

On one hand I can believe theres an element of truth in the story, perhaps BBC bosses have asked him to just watch what he says over this (in my opinion, utterly trivial) issue just so he is not tarred with the same chauvanist sexist brush than Gray and Keys have been. We know the red tops love to twist a story about Chris just to try and stir up a bit of trouble that wasnt even there to begin with, I wouldnt be surprised if he's been advised not to comment on it just so the papers don't get even the faintest sniff of a potential story.

On the other hand however, we know newspapers in this country, and no doubt across the world, aren't adverse to printing bare faced lies but using "insiders", "pals" and "sources" just to try and make their story seem believeable. Anyone remember Gordon Farts front page headline announcing Chris was to be axed last summer? Oh yes Gordon, cos that turned out to be 100% true didnt it? 8 million or so people aren't going to be listening to Chris and the team at 6.30 tomorrow morning are they?

Not impressed with censorship

Is that Smart who once claimed he 'NEVER knowingly printed an untrue story'... right and Andy Coulson didn't know his paper was phonetapping people.

Because The Sun and The News of the World are the pinnacle of newspaper journalism and uphold the highest of moral and ethical standards. Oh, and they wouldn't dare lie. All heil Murdoch!

    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
