Not sure.
The Today Programme and PM take a bit of listening to these days. Only a week ago I felt the need to rip the radio out the car and stomp on it like it was Meyer's head.
Granted you feel the same listening to Moyes, save that he has the excuse that he 'has learning difficulties' and is a little like Peter in the Family Guy episode that was on last night...

He has fat lazy blood.
Moyles never was the saviour of radio 1. He had more listeners than Sara Cox. Woohoo. The fact that Sarah Cox was possibly even more annoying/moronic than him can't have made that hard.
The fact is, any hospital DJ would have been able to retain a great number of listeners to what as at the time and still is for a lot of the musically illiterate the only national popular music channel.
If the BBC fired him and hired such a person I don't think many of us would notice after a week or two.

Indeed, the sending of crap old R1 DJs to R2 is killing R2 already - WTF is a Chris Evans in existence for? let alone paid to ruin the breakfast show.
Chris Evans is pretty decent on R2 in the morning, and the music is MUCH better than back in TW's day. Molyes is a joke, but I can't see him on R2 - straight to R6 with him.
(I always think of smashee and nicey in these discussions ...." oh no, not Radio Quiet...." )

Umm...they've always done that with Radio 2.On the current schedule:
Chris Evans - Radio 1 breakfast
Steve Wright - Radio 1 afternoon
Simon Mayo - Radio 1 Morning
Tony Blackburn - Radio 1
Off the top of my head. This is the way it always works - they can't keep making new pop music stations for young people so the older people get moved on to radio 2.

Is Blackburn on R2 now? I thought the BBC binned him 20 years ago. He spun the first record ever on the launch of R1 IIRC. On the current schedule:
Chris Evans - Radio 1 breakfast
Steve Wright - Radio 1 afternoon
Simon Mayo - Radio 1 Morning

"The saviour of Radio 1" - I'm just dreading the day when they put him out to pasture on R2. Like Jo Wiley.
Or that bloody awful Zoe Ball who's standing in for a couple of weeks on R2. I do wish she'd stop talking to her audience as though they are all 15 year old school girls, I don't think she quite understands she is not on R1 any more. Moyles is 37 according to Wiki. He could be a father to most of his target audience.
Radio 1 is after 12-30 age group.
There should be an upper age limit (not allowable of course) of about 33 for Radio 1 DJ's unless they are some late evening specialist. I am decade and a bit beyond the cut off date.
Trouble is pensioning them off to Radio 2 is not fully working .. almost need a Radio 2.5 for the elder/slower listener.
I used to think Radio 1 had an edge, certainly going abroad revealed it to be leading edge but now I think it has lost that and is full of the careless and/or air heads; needs to try harder and employ folk who do not seem to love the sound of their voice. Moyle in morn' is 75% inane talking and 25% actual music.
Anyway now a Radio 4 drone but for odd Friday night dance tunes on 1 or desperate tuning around for anything else after 10 mins of Radio 1's talking (or most rap) kills it for me. As I am not the target audience it should not concern me but always wish for a better quality product!

But for me, BBC 6Music eats its lunch, every time. The DJs aren't just a bit better, they're shockingly better.
Radio 4 on its own is something I'd pay the licence fee for. I get some telly, a reasonable news website and 6Music too. Bargain!

That's what I thought, although I'm not an official representative of the PH Spelling and Grammar Police.
