It's bad news for Chris and the team, as new listening figures released by RAJAR today show a drop of 120,000 listeners for The Chris Moyles Show in the first quarter of 2005.
Chris's figures of 6.17 million listeners are nevertheless up 240,000 on the same time last year, with better news for Radio 1 as a whole - as its audience increased slightly to 9.96 million.
It was no match for Radio 2's unstoppable figures however, with Terry Wogan, Ken Bruce, Steve Wright and Johnnie Walker all adding listeners this quarter. Wogan now has a lead of nearly 2 million over Chris in the battle for breakfast ratings, with 8.09 million in total. To add insult to injury, both Bruce's mid morning show and Steve Wright In The Afternoon now pull in more listeners than the Radio 1 Breakfast Show - with 6.63 and 6.8 million respectively. Radio 2 now has 13.33 million listeners in total and a record 16.5% share of Britain's radio audience. In London, Johnny Vaughan also added 120,000 listeners for Capital FM too, increasing his lead over Chris further.
