Web turns on ‘poor’ Moyles...

..."Get a job in hospital charity radio, you still won't be paid and everyone will still be sick listening to you," suggested another poster...

    Was Chris Moyles not really smart though in that he is the creator of all of jingles played on the show....and earns a royalty every time one of them is played....and he is in control of when they are played.....and plays them 100 times a minute?

    I really don't understand why a PUBLIC radio station pays a DJ that much. I could understand one of the private stations paying that much - as they rely on advertising revenue - but why the BBC?

    I've found him entertaining to a point in the past, but not so much that I would change stations if he left.

    Pokerface - just because you are used to public services being sh!t, doesn't mean they should be. To get good people you need to pay for it.


    Now whether Moyles is good can be debated, but he does pull the listeners in. Just not listeners who post on bikeradar it would seem.

    I like the Chris Moyles show as a whole.

    Don't particularly love him or anything but the show is entertaining and I can't imagine who the BBC would replace him with on the Breakfast show. I'm not struck by any of the their other presenters really.

    Also. If you was paid monthly, and your wages weren't paid in two months and you perceived that your employer didnt have enough respect for you to even try sorting the issue out (the amount you earn is irrelevant) I'm pretty sure you would be taking the opportunity to make your feelings known.

    Personally, I find it staggering that an organisation like the BBC can't sort themselves out enough to pay one of their leading stars the money he is contracted to. Says more about the shambles they are than whether or not Chris Moyles is a fat gob sh ite...

    Just seems odd to spend THAT much money for ONE DJ for ONE show (there are many, many others), when they don't make anything back from it.

    Most people will agree that there are better or more entertaining DJs on the BBC that cost much less.


    Would be a little like my local cycling club hiring Cancellara to come ride our Club 10's every week. 8)
  • BBC will not have paid his company, which will in turn pay his salary. I can't imagine they actually pay him on PAYE.

    Also it's pretty unproffessional to air your workplace greivances in front of your customers.

    How much do other radio stations pay their DJs? I'd be surprised if any other radio station could match the BBC.

    And the reason that BR posters don't like Moyles is because we're the intellectual elite of this nation, don't you know?

    The Sun and daily mail also sell a lot of papers. There is no accounting for taste within the tattooed smelly underclass who think Mr Moyles is mildly entertaining.

  • 'His listening figures would suggest otherwise.'

    as above - his listening figures say nothing about HIS quality, they say more about his listeners. Christ, a lot of people like the f****ing 'X Factor' ffs. And many people seem to like Lance Armstrong.

    Overpaid, overweight, talentless waste of space. Can't bare the man or his peers. While we're on the subject....how about Fearne Cotton? Another A- hole getting paid the princely sum of 200 k per year, while the country is on it's knees, these a-holes are getting paid ridiculous salaries for talking drivel. Not even entertaining drivel!! Moyles can go to......

    ^--- Now Fearne Cotton - there's someone with ZERO talent that really gets on my nerves.

    I would rather have Moyles on all day than have to listen to her drone on.


    Radio 1 listening figures are so high because they broadcast across the nation and pretty much everyone can pick up the station. Can't say the same for many other stations.

    Hang on a minute - whatever you think about Chris Moyles wouldnt you be a tad pissed if your employer hadn't bothered to pay you for 2 months.

    On top of that he has just split from his GF of 8 years so was feeling a tad delicate.

    However I take all your points about Radio 1 DJ's - bunch of muppets. However you are all missing the worst of the bunch - Scott "f***wit" Mills who treats his listeners like 5 year olds. Whilst murdering the english language - please can any tell me what the hell OFF OF actually means, worst of it all it has now permeated the rest of the BBC, some TV announcer used it the other day. For example - Up next is Bradley Wiggins, off of Team Sky!!!!!!!!

    Yes, you're right that he should be paid when his employer said they would pay him.

    He's still the sort of person who wants to make me scoop my own brains out though.

    Whatever has happened or hasn't happened; Chris Moyles is a fat, deep-fried cunt. Now can we concentrate on the Friday Tuuuuune thread, please?

    Well in all fairness I've met some of his listeners and 'fans' and being treated like 5 year olds is entirely suitable for them.

    Not a fan of Moyles either talent wise but the point about his employer not paying him is a valid one. He should have dealt with it privately however, I've got friends out of work for over a year now who'd love to be in with a chance of being paid full stop and to air your grievances to the entire nation whilst you are living in a house in Camden worth £millions was a tad insensitive given his wages come from something that is a tax in all but name.

    I have a feeling that Moyles' time is nearly up. He's had a good run & I can somehow forsee the beeb farming him off to a weekend slot. Radio 1 have these culls periodically. Wiley getting offed in favour of Cotton, Edith Bowman booted off afternoons etc. Reckon that next time the gaffers have a "switcheroo" he's gone.

    They'll get some younger, fresher DJ to fill his trainers. Who will be most likely, sh1t also.
