Chris Moyles has rubbished claims that he is to lose his job as the host of Radio 1's flagship breakfast show.

Reports quoting insiders at BBC's Broadcasting House suggested controversial DJ Moyles would be moved on from his job by radio bosses sometime in September.

But Moyles's agent, Vivienne Clore, maintained yesterday that the reports were completely unfounded. "We both think it's a load of rubbish," she said. "I have spoken to his bosses today and they are saying it's not true."

This story did scare me this morning. But i believe it is more rubbish from The Sun.

I have been listening to Moyles from the beginning he is my hero. He has inspired me to get into Radio and if he went then i would feel hurt unless it was on his terms.

I say at least another 3 years of Moyles. Coxy and Whiley may go though?

Hey this apparent shake-up and new stars - IM ALWAYS HERE RADIO 1. WOOPS EGO ALERT ;)

What people seem to be forgetting is that management will be discussing changes to the schedule 18 months in advance. I'm sure Moyles can't be long for this world- in September he will be the longest serving Breakfast show host EVER. But I severley doubt he will keep going for another extra 2 / 3 years. Bosses are undoubtley discussing contingency plans once the inevitable happens. I expect we will have another full year of Moyles though!

Oops look like they might have got Scott's quote from Twitter ;)

This really tickled me. Just shows how thorough the tabloid newspaper 'researchers' are. Did they not even think to read Scott's bio on Twitter? If this doesn't prove that they write total garbage, I don't know what will. No offence intended to the fake Scott Mills incidentally.:D

I'm also looking forward to Moyles' response on Monday.

Don't think we're forgetting it at all. We are talking about the present. This year. I can fully accept Chris won't go on for ever and would expect the second half of 2010 to probably see changes to breakfast. But for The Sun to report Chris will be gone by September seems very premature.

The Mirror seem to be basing their story upon the fact that his contract is up for renewal in July according to their "sources".

Hey, do you think we could play a version of 'call the newspapers' by mentioning a random celeb/DJ on the Scott_Mills twitter and see who prints that as a successor or the bookies take bets?

Haha. "Heard Paul Gambaccini is taking over from Moyles. Bloody annoyed."

I always found Gordon Smart fairly respectable. I notice his opinions toward Chris have changed since he supported Scott in recent months.

Yes but he's a journalist who doesn't like Chris, and Chris has slated his column recently as Aled says.

It will split Scott's team too. From what I have heard The One That Doesn't Speak does not want to go back to mornings. He had enough of them with Zoe Ball and Sara Cox. It could mean Laura would return to the show but that would push Beccy out. It's a bad move all round.

Why would Beccy go? She is assistant producer, if T1TDS went Laura could replace him as main producer.

i also believe what Aled has said over that bloke from the paper, however Aled has to be careful what he lets on, & in regards to Scott doing the show it's only for temporary cover.

Aled is a professional and I'm sure knows exactly what he can write on forums or not as the case may be. I'm sure advice from you is something he can do without.

I would like Scott to pre-recording a 2 min link and for Moyles to play it out at 6.30 on monday and make a big big big joke out of it, etc...:)
Maybe Chappers could. 'It's half six and this is The Scott Mills Show. Chappers here, Scott is just having a glass of wine, first here's some gay disco...'

Maybe throw in a 'chris is off, you've probably seen the headlines over the week, so it's the scott mills show from now on'.

This could be very funny. Make Greg make no mention of Moyles all morning, Dom at the end of the news just say "It's 6.30, time for the Radio 1 Breakfast Show". Have a generic Radio 1 jingle and a record followed by Chappers saying "Good morning and welcome to the Scott Mills breakfast show. For reasons we can't go in to Chris isn't here this morning and isn't likely to be for the considerable future. Scott will be taking over the show until furthur notice but is late this morning..." Before Moyles and the team interupt and reveal it was a joke. This could be a great way to rubbish the story. :D

The Mirror seem to be basing their story upon the fact that his contract is up for renewal in July according to their "sources".

I could have told them that, Moyles mentioned a couple of times his contract runs until July.

My general thoughts on the stroy. Rubbish, well at the moment it is anyway. I believe the plan is for Moyles to be replaced by someone younger, Radio 1 are far too obsessed with DJ age, so much so they'd rather have an average young Reggie Yates or Nick Grimshaw then a much better, slightly older JK and Joel for example. I'd put money on the fact that "age range" and "target audience" will be the reason given for Chris's exit. I believe that exit will be within the next 2 years or so, but not yet.

You also have to realise the story was in The Sun, who Moyles has slagged off a lot recently, and written by Smart, who has had his column ripped to peices by Moyles on multiple occasions in the past. I also don't doubt there will be a major re-shuffle in the summer, I however don't think it will involve Moyles yet...

As for a replacement, it won't be Vernon, he has too many ITV TV Productions to make. The only replacement host I would listen to would be Scott or Greg, if it were to be Grimmy or Reggie you wouldn't catch me anywhere near 97-99FM on a weekday morning.

I would think there would be bitch fights during the show. For some reason I like the mix of male and female companions.

i thought Laura left to produce on her own, coming back to Scott Mills show with Beccy would be a backwards step i would have thought.

Why? He's talking about if TOTDS went she would come back as a producer.

I'll be listening and to be honest I cannot wait!

I'm forseeing the biggest angry rant to date, so big and cruel it'll leave the Suns' bosses quaking in their boots :D

Radio 1 would make a cataclysmic mistake IF Moyles was to leave at the present moment. Whilst not his 'Biggest Fan', Chris has certainly grown on me after the red nose climb and quiz night.

If Radio 1 decided it was time for a change, they seriously need to think about Ratings. No-one at Radio 1 AT THIS PRESENT MOMENT (Apart from Scott Mills, who I believe will have drivetime for a long time to come), is ready to take-over Breakfast. The people who've done it in recent years have failed at it. I dread Greg James to take over just now, but in a few years, I think the Breakfast Crown should be his.

      The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf

      I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently!

      That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.

      Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots. A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1. Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.

      I remember hearing Amy first on Scotts show and she was great on that, the daft quiz questions always made me smile. It's really nice to see the hard work has paid off for them all.
