Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[howabout94]

I am listening to a show where people are asking if moyles not being paid and having a fit about it may have angered management. one good thing.... This should see the demise of cm.net. every cloud....

Oh shut up

[harrysmyth]

Firstly, forget about 'the older'. As I said Radio one doesn't care. If I wrote a strongly worded email to the controller of BBC2 asking them to play more dub-step and less 70's music they would laugh when they read it.

Secondly, of course some of the younger listeners will be annoyed. Chris Moyles is a firm favourite with a lot of people. However change happens, and Chris has been doing the show for over 8 years and it is time for change. The same reaction happened when Greg got afternoon from Edith, and again when he took over drive-time from Scott. The breakfast show WILL lose listeners, it's certain, but Nick Grimshaw is a popular choice with Radio 1's target audience. Fact.

Some people will just have to come to terms with the fact that Radio 1 is no longer for them. It's not designed to keep adjusting to the listener as they grow older.

Agree whole heartedly with this. Very well put.

It won't mean the 'demise' of Cmnet at all. What drugs have you been taking that made you assume that when he's not even leaving Radio1, just the actual breakfast slot. Also when he DOES fully leave, that place will still be going, like it or not.

O no, it won't. this site had the sense to have a bbc r1 section, so even if mills goes, it could just evolve. cm.net focus specifically on moyles' radio show. without him, they only have archives left.

[Viv]

Btw, does anyone think moyles is gonna be able to even tolerate a move to weekends, IF this is what happens.

[howabout94]

You were banned from chrismoyles.net weren't you?

[Viv]

Yes! I consider this among my finest moments in life!

[Harkinson]

How did you get banned?? :hahaha:

[James R]

Yes! I consider this among my finest moments in life!

Were you banned from here as well or did I imagine that

[howabout94]

Yes! I consider this among my finest moments in life!

You mustn't have many fine moments then

[Viv]

Banned from everywhere! harris banned me when i gave him a big speech about his site being littered with dickheads. I still think that. archives are excellent though.

You couldn't be more wrong. The only dickhead is a user of unofficialmills.co.uk

[Viv]

U mean..... You?!?

Pretty sure they focussed well on his TV shows when he's had them too? Like this site, they focus on the person, not their affiliations. This move, combined with a possible move to weekends (I say possible because after today's curveballs, we simply don't know what's speculation right now) might leave him free to do more TV work as I understand he HAS expressed interest in.

As an aside to that point, he even appeared on the BBC's fine F1 coverage with Aled this weekend... taking Aled's virginity (in terms of going to races...). I was wishing they would do a red button commentary like they did for the football, could have livened up the one dull race of the year so far.

[DarkAngelMJH]

Really don't think that it will be long untill Scott goes now

[tweetie]

Loved Moyles in the afternoon, but when he moved to breakfast, the show just became something more. Dom (a huge part of the success), Dave, Aled, Carrie (and then later Tina) have become a part of every day life, more than just a radio show. They are there every morning. They are all consistantly funny. There are running jokes, and features that just always seem to work. No more Dominic The Donkey? No more Roy? No more Mcfly Day? No more "ALED. Coming up today on Radio 1..." so much stuff we will miss. The jingles, the songs, the parodies. The team. If they do get a different show/timeslot, I hope the whole team stick together. They are all essential. I'm going to make the most of the next two months. It's weird I was just thinking last week when they said Moyles was going to be Herod, how would that work with the breakfast show, but never thought it would be like this.

Good luck to the team, and thanks for all the excellent radio over the years

That's made me feel all emotional now....

i think your right, they'll probably start to outcast him at the radio 1 parties and gatherings to try and force him out.

This is a nice idea in theory, and their alternative football coverage did work pretty well as it was fun but I honestly can't see Ecclestone being too pleased at the prospect of alternative commentary where the commentators were inclined to have a bit of fun rather than a serious/sensible approach. It would be good if that happened, but sadly I dont think it ever will.

Oh, was Ecclestone objection the reason they don't have the rather fun CBBC Commentary any more too? I agree it's extremely unlikely though. Maybe if Moyles ends up on 5Live (he likes shows with less music.. and Richard Bacon has Comedy Dave on sometimes and often lets timings of news etc slide a little, it could work for Moyles), he could do their commentary sometime, still a VERY slim chance.

[tvguy101]

Wasn't there some talk about Vernon leaving in September? Maybe they try sliding Chris into weekend mornings to fill the slot, and dump Sara Cox on Sundays since it appears she's no longer a Radio 1 fill-in?

[Viv]

Just a thought.... Well, actually the thoughts of others on twitter..... Would management really move someone as big as moyles to weekends, and leave scott where he is?! or could we be seeing more changes shortly? mills moved (again), with chris and team in the one to four slot? is this too mad?

[Harkinson]

Well, Scott's show is much 'younger' than Moyles's and Moyles is probably bringing in much older listeners so yes.

[welovemoyles]

Absolutely devastated
