Chris Moyles announces he's leaving

You make entire cases of resorting to personal insults... I asked a serious question and even pointed out the lack of sarcasm. Just saying. Go back to your new lows in jokes.

I have just had a slightly different thought on Moyles, I'd rather see him leave a station that is being forced to not want him anymore on top of his game in a way than have him fade away in the knowledge he'll be leaving soon but uncertain as to exactly when. That kind of uncertainty could lead to a dip in form, and I'd rather hear him go out with a bang.

Quite frankly, i could say the same about you. as to moyles' position now.... Well, in a way, he could almost have seen this coming, and done a dlt. as it is, it leaves him in a rather awkward position, and, after so long at the top, i feel damn sorry for him. class it as the day the ratings died.

I'm not being funny Viv, but you're really starting to pee a lot of people off. In the past few days, I've been told to get a life and been compared to something from the exorcist. I'm not really paying attention to this 'insults' because frankly, you don't mean a shit to me, but have you thought about the possiblity that the reason this forum is quieter is because you're putting people off by resorting to personal insults over the smallest things, and CONSTANTLY spamming us about Madonna?

I don't think so about Gemma, cos she's only just started her new slot hasn't she? Maybe Annie or Huw but they tend to cover if Zane's not in, so I don't know.

True about Gemma although you never know. With schedule changes coming thick & fast its anyones guess. Watch this space haha

Yeh. Heard this speech on r1 newsbeat. Weeks ago, when he would not give an answer about moyles' future was very telling. moyles and mills BOTH needs to get their arses elsewhere. They are talented men, and they can do better than this. the only thing i agree with about grimmy and greg is that they both came in via student radio.

Nick didn't do student radio did he??

Yep, At uni..

I think it's a good replacement perhaps a little too early maybe they should have let him have his 10 years.

It's bittersweet for Scott, Bitter as he didn't get the breakfast slot, I'd have put him on breakfast for 6 months minimum but sweet as he's got a 3 year contract on afternoons and Moyles in comparison has been treated badly as it looks like he'll end up with a weekend show. I fully expect Huw to replace Grimmy and Moyles to replace Huw.

I wonder when Cooper made this decision, it is bizzare to change drive and then get a new breakfast presenter six months later! I think it was rather out of the blue as I think he'd have kept afternoons open for Moyles and happily shunted Mills. But Mills is secure at one now (phew).

Grimmy needs to grow a thick skin because listeners will drop and he'll be criticised but I think he is a good choice. Finally Greg's multiple interviews saying how desperate he was for breakfast just make me laugh atm. He might still end up there if Grimmy is the fall guy, who ever replaced Moyles would struggle which is why I'd have let Mills ride the storm.

i really wouldn't want to be grimmy. i won't be listening not because i dislike the guy, i don't. but he's going to have a hell of a battle to pull people round. colin and edith tried but failed to take over from mark and lard, and in the end the whole afternoon structure was altered. this is kind of a similar situation but on a bigger scale.

don't think it would of hurt or caused the end of the world to let moyles get to 10 years on breakfast though.

on the grid.

one good thing.... This should see the demise of cm.net. every cloud....

not really. they have an archive of moyles gold on there, the last thing i'd want to see is that disappear offline. i think moyles will be doing more tv work, he's well and truly got his foot in the door with that. so i guess the site will start to focus on that.

I love CM.Net! The site is more about Chris himself than the show so I doubt that'll go away. There are a few regular posters that'll keep it going.

i think radio 1 should give him a good proper send off. love or hate him he's been one of the best servants the station will ever have, i would love to hear some archive footage from the old afternoon shows and early breakfast etc. but im not holding my breath, this is a station who seem to be ashamed of their history afterall.

Over on Chrismoyles.net there is a ton of old archived shows going back to when he was on Radio Luxembourg, afternoons, early breakfast shows, everything near enough. http://chrismoyles.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=22764#p374470

    • Makes sense, I always assumed they all went for 1D members regardless.
    • Do you prefer doing Capital Breakfast to Radio 1 or the other way round?
    • Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year.  They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart. 
    • I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.
    • Zayn's current song isn't on the R1 playlist so would be odd for him to do an interview I guess, not sure either would want it?
    • You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?   I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital? 
    • What do you both miss most about your time at R1?
    • How are you finding the early mornings, and having your afternoons free? Was it easy getting to grips with a different desk and play out system? Do you have any upcoming OBs and anything else exciting planned for the show that you can exclusively share with Unofficialmills? 😀
    • This research is based on the DJs’ voices - pitches, speech rates and fillers like ums and ahs they use - so it’s not affected by sound effects. But yes according to the report Scott is listed as a Radio 2 DJ instead of Radio 1.
    • The playlist has definitely got a bit narrower this year, it feels like. Artists like Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Drake and  Doja Cat seem to be played in every show, even when they’re not on the playlist. Other artists who get a few plays a week, such as Niall Horan, always seem to have the same song played, in his case, Heaven. Whenever they dive into Calvin Harris’ backlog it always seems to be Slide and Promises pulled out, even though they’re two of his least upbeat songs. Most songs they play seem to have been from the 2020s, instead of throwing in a few older hits like Capital does, which is something I think they could do.
    • Jamie Laing out of the schedule for Going Home today - Lauren Layfield in with Katie Thistleton.
    • Bit of a scoop getting an exclusive interview with Zayn, I wonder why he decided not to do Radio 1 too? 
    • Who are your favourite artists that are not anywhere close to being on the playlist?   Are there ever songs that make you want to start pulling your hair out (in general, no need to put anyone on blast lol)?
    • Hi to both, miss you loads on radio 1 and hope that you’re doing good at capital 🙏   What was the background to your exits from Radio 1? Do you have any regrets from how it ended?    This one’s more to Jordan, but do you enjoy TV presenting more than radio? What are your targets in TV?
    • I do think if you distracted by talking you wouldn’t put a podcast on in the car. To me unless you used to driving so often that you don’t get distracted and drive for long distances it feels suited to podcasts. I find it odd including Ryan Seacrest or Howard Stern as I don’t know who listens to them in the U.K. Can imagine Chris Evans distracting and annoying on radio in general same for Chris Moyles. I can imagine Scott as not too distracting maybe even in his radio 1 days although if I was a driver I could find Innuendo Bingo or Funny Business distracting based on the humour of the features but Scott’s got a very soft gentle tone of voice doesn’t come across as loud or in your face. I think when you are on in the working day where people maybe listening as said in car, in the office or tradespeople on a job listening to the radio theres a certain style needed
