We will be in touch
Last one today, for many folks that will be a blessing but for me I am slightly saddened. Don't really listen any more but none the less the end of era. I am now a full time radio 2 listener. Quite liked him due to the lack of music, I was a trucker and the endless barrage of music of any genre was too much. The only other chit chat on the radio was talk sport which was not really an option.
Just got dab in the car so radio 6 all the way.
I'd rather listen to my parents having sex than that fat, talentless waste of oxygen. Luckily I know he's been safely caged on Radio 1 until now. So I've been mercifully unlikely to ever encounter his obnoxious, self-absorbed, celebration of mindless stupidity.
What worries me is where he'll pop up next. Given the BBC's track record of once giving George Lamb his own show on 6 music, and employing Patrick Kielty
I'd rather listen to my parents having sex than that fat, talentless waste of oxygen.
Not a lover then.!

You could say that. I just tend to have a natural aversion to thick, obnoxious people with ego's the size of planets
It's getting emotional. I've enjoyed listening in the morning. Some of the stuff they've done has been amazing. They raised over £10m for comic relief over the years.
+1 binners!
One of the reasons I was happy to get rid of my last car was, if I forgot to turn the stereo off, when I started it up in the morning, it would automatically go to radio. As soon as I heard that tosser's voice it would ruin my whole bloody day.
£10.4 million raised for charity over the period. Obnoxious or not, I reckon he's in karma credit.
I'd also like to listen to Binner's parents having sex.
Sorry...what we talking about?
Quite sad here, he's been in my mornings on and off for most of my life, which is pretty weird really!!
Not gonna be the same without him
I'd rather listen to my parents having sex than that fat, talentless waste of oxygen.
I'd rather join in.
Listened to his show almost every day of my working life. Need a new station now 🙁
Not listened to the show in about 3 years (too much football/celeb talk), but watching the prog this morning and welling up a little
Sad day. He split opinion which is no bad thing. In my eyes though he was a truly brilliant broadcaster, a proper radio geek and a genuinely nice guy away from the radio. Longest ever radio 1 breakfast show and over £10 million raised for charity? I'd say he must have been doing something right.
+1 numbers. Annoying to say the least and very unfunny.
All radio DJ's are by virtue incredibly annoying. Chris Moylse less so than others; also more so than some others.
+1 Lunge
I love how those that "don't listen" know all about him and the show, enough to force their opinion as fact....
Like him or not, he's obviously good at what he does.

you'll love this then. I know that he is crap but I don't listen to him, and I know that I'm right because he is an utterly contemptible ****.
Binners + 1000
Some say he had a talent,but all I ever heard was dumb lad and ladett radio. Maybe that's what the listening masses want,I hope not.
He split opinion which is no bad thing
Completley right - nothing worse than the mediocre, pandering to everyone, dull drivel you get on 90% of radio stations. Local stations are just awful, most sounding like they are stuck in the 70s with a "good morning pop-pickers, its a quarter to eight and here's some music from the hit parade" type smarmy crap DJ. Moyles might not be your cup of tea, but he was certainly something different.
you'll love this then. I know that he is crap but I don't listen to him, and I know that I'm right because he is an utterly contemptible ****
Brilliant....
I used to be forced to listen to him in an office.
So I can say with authority thank god that can never happen to anyone ever again. That was no way to live, there was no dignity in it. There was no joy. The sun did not shine. Pastries and coffee tasted like dust and washing up water.
I'm with binners on this.
Seeya you worthless humourless self important lump of waste.

I find most breakfast shows to be like listening to people who are still drinking from the previous night. Why don't you shut the f up and put some bloody music on? And why does every radio station think we want to listen to crap comedians as we wake up? Wtf?
Gonna miss him in the morning - made me laugh. I'm waaaaay outside R1 target audience (which is why he went I believe) but frankly R2 (other than Chris Evans I'm told) is utter crap right now and I can't listen to it for more than 30 seconds.
I suspect that he'll be back on R2 in a couple of years. i still think there should be a Radio 1.5.
Luckily I got a new car yesterday with a DAB radio and listening Mark R was very pleasant.
Completley right - nothing worse than the mediocre, pandering to everyone, dull drivel
Yep. Huw Stephens and Vernon Kay make me very angry indeed. I hate them.

Perfectly and delicately put. It's all Steve Wright's fault you know.
He split opinion which is no bad thing
Its not necessarily a good thing as it means you have someone provocative or trying to get a reaction on the airwaves.
I am glad the BBC can cater for the likes of those who would listen to Moyles and also cater for me who I would rather be water boarded than endure him but as he is unlikely to start hosting the Today programme i am largely unmoved by this.

Zane Lowe is the most sycophantic and subsequently obnoxious DJ out there. Way more annoying than Chris Moyles.
Anyone for tickets to his farewell tour of the UK? 😆
I haven't listened to him in years; but being a true STW'er i'll not let that stop me voicing a completely ill informed bloated opinion. Be gone Satan!

I don't like Moyles at all.
But I can't disagree with that.

No point, they'll have metal detectors... 😕

[b]BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM[/b]
I've never liked him and could never understand why they kept him for so long. The final straw was when they announced Grimshaw getting the show - it should have been Mills all day long.
Bring back Mark and Lard....STOP.....Carry on......
I agree, they should have given the Breakfast show to Scott Mills.
I have learned to avoid Radio 1 in the mornings because of Moyles, and haven't heard him for years.
I still occasionally have the misfortune of hearing Scott Mills though, if they moved him into the Breakfast slot that would help me greatly.
I'd rather listen to my parents having sex than that fat, talentless waste of oxygen.
binnerstshirts.com?
I too hate Chris Moyles. The best way of getting me out of bed in the morning is to have the radio alarm clock on the other side of the room, and have it set to radio 1. I end up fully launching myself to make it stop.
Got it set to Kerrang now though.
Bring back Mark and Lard....STOP.....Carry on......
The last time I listened to the breakfast show on Radio 1 was when they finished. From the bits I've heard, it's all been pretty poor since then!
I just Googled it to find out when they left an can't believe it was 15 years ago 😯
Makes me feel very old!
I think anyone paid to talk for a couple of hours 5 times a week for several years on a live show is going to come out with a lot of shite. I reckon he did a decent job overall although not listened for a few months. He's certainly better than the muppet replacing him and some of the other 'talent' at R1
I think Richard Bacon should present everything
I have been listening to Moyles since he was on early breakfast and while annoying at times I thought the show was a good mix of humor and relatively decent music. Granted there was always going to be a reasonable amount of crap played, it is Radio 1 and its meant for the yoof.
I like Evans as a presenter in general but a lot of the music that is played is just crap. I'm 30 years too young for some of that stuff and 5 years too old for Radio 1.
I'll miss it. Always made me laugh.
30 years too young for radio 2 breakfast show music ?
I'd have to guess that you are about 5 then 🙂
I enjoyed his show and do like him as a radio presenter, now do not know what to listen to on the way to work as I have tried to listen to his replacement and can't get on with him. It is quite emotional when something that has been a part of your life for so long disappears, good luck to him and the rest of the gang for the future.
Why don't you shut the f up and put some bloody music on? And why does every radio station think we want to listen to crap comedians as we wake up? Wtf?
Why don't YOU just put a CD on if all you want to listen to is music? 😛
+1 for Scott Mills for breakfast though. Grimmy is very poor indeed.
I think not playing much music was the best bit about the show! The Radio 1 playlist is generally awful these days so the less of it the better (and any complaints that "any records he did play were crap" - do you really think he had any choice as to what he plays on a mainstream breakfast show?...)
I'm quite said he's leaving Radio One.
As I don't listen to it.
The worrying thing now is he could pop up anywhere. 😕
Mills is awful. His moronic female sidekick even worse.
Moyles is a sad loss, but best of luck to grimmy.
+ another 1 here to listen binners parents.
I used to try to listen to radio 1 in the car between bouts of radio 4. I couldn't stand Moyles and as much as I applaud his 10M quid raised for charity, I'm fairly sure most other radio 1 DJs on the same show could have done close to the same.
I was in the "don't like him but don't really care about him on radio1" until his stupid rant about being paid late a couple of years back. The complete lack of sensitivity when listeners were losing jobs and homes in their thousands and he was moaning about part of his 1 million pound salary not turning up on time and then when people pointed it out, was unapologetic about it. Egotistical ****.
sean keavney on 6.
I actually didn't mind his rant. Regardless of how much he earns and what people think of him his entitled to get paid isn't he? Just because it's more than the average person doesn't mean he shouldn't get paid on time like everyone else. As for ranting live on air, maybe not the best move but if you've got a powerful tool to hand and your hacked off your going to use it. As for sensitivity, it's not one of his trademarks.
Im far from his biggest fan but I found the rest of the 'gang' more annoying as they seemed genuinely bereft of any talend. Comedy Dave and Dom in particular. Stick with Kerrang and R4 mostly nowadays.
He split opinion which is no bad thing
Between people who hate him and people who really don't like him?
@Binners, if we get enough interest when can we all come around for a listen?
I didn't mind him, kind of annoying at times but isn't everyone?
Any way, never mind that big wind bag. Talking about a loss to broadcasting, has anyone heard any rumours about a return of Adam and Joe at some point? Now that was morning radio like no other.
#looks at Black Squadron uniform with unending sense of loss...#
Well, i AM a fan of the Moyles Show.
I like the lack of the bilge that the charts throw up, and replaced by funny banter, pubquiz, Golden Hour etc. Inclusive radio.
Grimmy is just going to play s**t chart tunes and dance to the corporate line. Good Northern humour, though, good luck to him with the resultant ratings crash.
Scott Mills is [u]older[/u] than Moyles so how could he take over the show...
So it's 5Live from now on, Evans was good back in the day but now...nah.
BinnersWhat worries me is where he'll pop up next. Given the BBC's track record of once giving George Lamb his own show on 6 music...
-That still gives me nightmares. That bloke was the reason that my former colleagues turned against 6Music and we were forced to return to Key 103.
When he moved to weekend mornings, it ruined many a Saturday.
Why is anybody over about 24 listening to R1 anyway?
6Music and R4 all the way.
Indeed, infact they should in my opinion be under the same content controller, as opposed to lumping it with R2.6Music and R4 all the way.
Jon Holmes did rip on George lamb quite mercilessly though, which I liked.
Tom Ravenscroft FTW!
6 Music at home and at work. Radio 4 in the car (no DAB)
Radio 1 is for young retards, Radio 2 is for old b*stards.
Im not in the haterz camp, I'm neither in the lovers camp, I really have no idea what or who the chap is..
I like that, I've heard he's a bit of a dick.
I think James Corden said it best on the show yesterday.
You've got a group of friends every morning. It doesn't matter where you are, you've got these friends who never exclude you every morning.The more you listen, the more you become part of it, that's the reason we've stuck with it for so long. It's going to be like losing a group of mates in the morning that you happen to be in the car with.
This group of friends obviously wasn't to everyone's taste but the fact that Moyles was able to generate this feeling of bellonging and empathy amoungst his fans certainly isn't because he is a "bit of a dick".
I'm certainly going to miss having the company and the laughs on my journey to work every morning.
The forthcoming tour sounds . . . . . special . . . . . it will be the first and last time . . . TFFT!!
On tour in October with his cast of radio sidekicks.
The shows are set to last 80 minutes and will feature a live band, games involving audience participation and a live question and answer session.
According to The Sun, a source said of Moyles' plans for the tour: "It's the first and last time Chris and his team will perform to a paying audience. They will be getting the audience really involved, be it singing with them or just playing games."
Average age of a Radio 1 listener is 32 apparently (you've got Google, look it up).
I'm 32, but haven't really listened to it for 10 years. 6 Music for me and a mix of Radio 4/5Live for the car.
What annoys me is that ALL radio is people talking in the mornings. There's no station I know of that plays music, they all think we want two blokes trying to have a good time. Ok fine many people do, but there's no choice.
6 Music plays great music all day, including in the morning. And if you listen to Shaun Keveney, you can get him to give you a middle aged shout out on a Friday to celebrate you creosoting your fence, or something. I've had quite a few. I got us all a collective one for Hit the North 😀
was he ,chris moyles the talentless bloke, who just played with records for a living,and had his gang of equally talentless cronies wired to laugh at his crap and childish jokes.
Hopefully like the fish i just had for dinner, i will not need to think or even remember the fish or him for the forseeable future.
But at least the fish was tasty and well enjoyed.

Indeed, a positive side effect of the lack of publicity for 6Music is that if your wife texts in whilst you're driving along there's a good chance that you can get an, ahem, shout-out(!).
Lauren Laverne reading your name out -proud, it brings a tear to my eye.
Prof Brian Cox is also on with Shaun Keaveny on a Friday and has been for some years, since before he became TV's favourite physicist.
ps. for you folks who can't get DAB in the car:

I have one of those, I can't stand wires all over the dash, so a solution needs to be found.
And on the subject of 6 music - it's ok sometimes, there is still too much talking and too much of the Jazz Club vibe about it at times.
I didn't mind Moyles when he had his afternoon slot but he just seemed to loose it when he got the morning show. Haven't listened to him in years and normally stick my ipod on on the way to work as Evans has a habit of rabbiting on to much and talking over the records for my liking and local radio is just dire.
Guy was a knob, surprised how he lasted this long to be honest
What annoys me is that ALL radio is people talking in the mornings. There's no station I know of that plays music
PUT A FLIPPING CD OR IPOD ON THEN!!!!!!
The last time I listened to R1 Zoe Ball was doing the breakfast show, and I stopped after she left and went over to Tel on R2. I only ever heard Moyles when in an environment that had R1 on, and I can say with authority that his crappy show never improved over the years I was forced to listen to it as a captive audience. Lamb was even worse, he stopped me listening to 6 up to LaLa's show at 10. I'll miss Moyles in the same way that I miss having a migraine.
You've got a group of friends every morning. It doesn't matter where you are, you've got these friends who never exclude you every morning.

Like the loud, rowdy group of 'friends' who colonise a corner of your favourite pub, and who only include those whose loud, boorish, and obnoxious behaviour closely matches their own.
I believe that I am on the same wavelength as binners here.
fat, boring, humour of a 14 year old boy,twaddle crap sh1t filled ramblings of unfunny nonsense, reason enough to stop listening to that station.... good riddance

Why were you listening to a show by a fat 14 yr old that was targeted at fat 14 yr olds? All this assumes that you are not a fat 14 yr old.
Moyles and his team haven't caused too much annoyance over the years. Nowhere near as annoying as the likes of Jo Whiley, Vernon Kay and Westwood.
To replace Moyles Radio 1 have gone for quite possibly the most irritating streak of floppy haired piss in the world, Nick Grimshaw. Hate is a strong word and one I won't use unless I mean it. But I HATE Nick Grimshaw. King of the c*%ts.
I might down pop down the bookies to bet on how short Grimshaw's radio 1 career will be.
There are some right miserable sacks of shite on this forum aren't there? 😆
