Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

[Jono]

The new set of listening figures are out tonight, so expect Moyles to be rambling on about them whether they're good or bad tomorrow. I wonder what it will mean for the new weekend shows they've introduced recently.

[E*F*4L]

i think the ratings will have gone up for R1

I feel as though the podcasts are not as good as they used to be, despite the show being at its best.

What I enjoy on the show isn't what is included on the podcast. And that's probably because it's the off the cuff stuff, and not the celebrity guests. They feature too much.

This set of RAJARs covers September - December 2007.

The extended Chris Moyles Show is on a new record, with up to 7.31m listeners a week - up 6.98m (last quarter) and up from 6.82m (last year). Wogan however is still on 7.73m listeners a week.

Radio 1 increased its audience by nearly 120,000 - now standing at 10.69 million listeners - but average hours and share of listening fell.

Chris Moyles has suffered a major setback by being beaten by Johnny Vaughan and Jamie Theakson according to latest RAJAR figures

Moyles gained listeneres in the whole of the UK but to lose out to his 2 biggest London rivals must have come as a bitter blow to Chris who loves to taunt them on his breakfast show.

I don't live in London so it doesn't remotely bother me. If one of these DJs mentions something on-air there's no prominent power like Moyles has. I bet if you consider podcasts, listen again and other methods it'll tell a different story.

[iain_smith]

Overall I think radio one did ok but I dont have a detailed breakdown just yet

[Jugalug]

Well, I feel we should close the thread until Ian has received it, or perhaps slose the site, just so we don't get anything we can't trust. Only trust Ian.

[Andy B]

I DO live in london and to be honest there's so much choice of radio station you're swamped the whole time....

Oh and out of 12 trillion people who live in London I can name 5 who actually have good taste...

Da rest is aw liznin to dem masht up choons drivin rand in mentaw modded fiestas, flahin dere bling innit oh my gosh ya get meh!

Or they're out avin it large listen to the latest funky/tachno/deep cut/white label/non-stick/do-not-tumble-dry House music Dj that once did two weeks in Pascha in Ibiza cos Oakey was ill.

Radio-1 has more listeners

moyles need to knuckle down a bit now, lately he seems to have taken it for granted.

I do like the way The Times brands the station "softer and politer".

Radio 1, which once backed rap, R&B and indie rock, now prefers melodic soft-rock bands such as the Feeling and the polite pop-soul of a new star, Adele. Radio 2, formerly the “pipe and slippers” station, has placed Morrissey on top of its playlist and is giving prominence to Radiohead, the Coral and Robert Plant.

Commercial radio stations believe Radio 1’s role should be to support more musically challenging genres, aimed at younger listeners. But the new strategy was designed by competitive Radio 1 bosses after the station’s audience fell below 10 million.

I agree. His shows haven't quite been worth waking up for recently. Bit lacklustre.
