I'm going to bet that very few, if any, of the people bemoaning Radio 1 DJs are under 30?

I am gutted he is off (I am 41) He has kept me company in my van for many years.
Looks like Chris Evans on Radio 2 it is then. Goodbye Radio 1. It was great while it lasted.

I hope he doesn't come over to Radio 2, I quite like listening to that. I haven't listened to Radio 1 since the glory days of Mark and Lard in the 90's and early 00's. It all seems crap now.

They've said they're actively searching for new younger listeners (<30). That a whole bunch of PH doesn't like the DJs specifically aimed at <30 yr olds isn't exactly ground breaking

It all seems crap now. You should listen back to some of the old shows. You will realise they were shockingly bad. Nostalgia over actual quality. It is an era thing.

Funny thing is, I have very fond memories of Moyles in the mid to late 90's, after that the show just didnt seem funny anymore.
I've come to realise it's probably not that he's crap or getting worse, it's because I've grown up.
Now I can't stand radio 1, it's so childish and now the bosses think it's still not childish enough.
Yikes I guess that must make me pretty old (30).

I still like most of the music, it's just the bits in-between. If Scott Mills' or Sara Cox got the job I'd listen but there's probably zero chance of that happening because they are not "yoof" enough.

Most of PH doesn't care that Moyles is leaving shocker. I think the breakfast show has sounded great for the last few years though but it was obvious they'd outgrown Radio 1. I don't think many 14 year olds want to hear about how Comedy Dave put a dark wash on or Chris did another few hours in the gym. I'm not sure I'm too concerned about who they replace Chris with; I'm a bit old for daytime Radio 1 now. Nick Grimshaw is probably the best DJ they have right now but I'm not sure he'd be right in the morning. I think coming right after Chris Moyles will be a very difficult task so it wouldn't surprise me if they put someone like Scott Mills on temporarily to take the ratings blow. Anyway, they're announcing it at 10.30...

So he really is off then? I missed almost all the announcement but I thought it might have been the case of an extended break while he has a go at stage performance on Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest production, assuming that's true.
Chris and his team annoyed me many times but I got comfortable with the show waking me up from the beginning until now. I think it's because he pretty much did his own thing while all the other R1 DJs stick to the dictated formula of links and features (Talky bits) restricted in length and must not go beyond a fixed time between music.
I did once say the once that show stopped I'd bin Radio 1. At 35 most of the station's output makes me feel old. Commercial radio is not for me so getting used to R2 is looking favourite.

It's about time IMHO, it jumped the shark about 3 years ago, I understand he gets huge figures, but I always thought that it was a simple case that Sir Terry over on Radio 2 had his followers and if you couldn't face having "we buy any car" jammed in your ears at 07:30 you kind of had to listen to Radio 1. When Chris Evans took over the writing was on the wall.
I haven't a clue who'll take over, Greg James is the Darling of Radio 1 right now, but he's just started the drive time show, doesn't mean he won't move earlier though.
I'm out of their demographic now at 36, but I bloody hope it's not Nick Grimshaw, what an utter tool. I can picture him now in his hipster uniform, skinny jeans, stripy t-shirt, bubble perm fringe jutting out of the bottom of a stupid in-door hat.
I wonder where Chris Moyles will go, not sure his style will suit anything but a prime-time slot, he only plays about 4 songs an hour, people want a lot more than that mid-day... Perhaps a post watershed show where he's free to gob off (about himself) for hours on end.

Reading about this on the bbc site, the Head of Radio One has said he will use Moyles departure as a further reason to aim the station at a younger demographic.
Younger than it has now? Which one is that one then? Sperm??

Gun said: Agree with that, just 5 minutes listening to Gemma Cairney will confirm it.
It will probably be Greg James though, he's in the "next in line for the breakfast show" slot at the moment.  I flicked over to her and just thought what an utter idiot! She's either a posh bird (Cotton) tyring to be street or a proper east end girl trying to hard to be a bit street and a bit BBC corporate. Utterly annoying. Chris Moyles leaving?

Annoyingly Radio 2 gets awful when Chris Evans is on holiday, they seem to go back to the bad (for me) old Wogan days of aiming at the 50+ age group. Guess we'll have to wait to see who replaces Moyles, him and Coxy are the only R1 DJs I can listen to, does that mean I'm old too? 30.
