Chris Moyles ex manager,someone called Brunio Brookes ,has said that Chris should quit Radio one within a year before people get bored with him.He says it would be a tragic waste of talent if he waited another couple of years when his audience might be plummetting and its better to quit whiile ahead.What do you make of this astonishing attack by Bruno Brookes (who claims to be a personal friend of Moyles)? Is there any sense in what hes saying? Anyone agree with him even? http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/micha ... x-manager/
Unfortunataly the article is very anti-Moyles and uses some very abusive language,which I think is uncalled for.Esp as Chris has lost alot of weight lately
PS before some smart as s says it,no I am NOT Bruno Brookes either

This is based on the opinion of someone who managed him 10 years ago. Nothing to see here.

Sounds like the blogger scooped this exclusive across a urinal partition.

ok. We have a link. Which is a start. But in truth no one really cares what bruno brooks says. He's not had a decent gig (radio wise) in what. 8 years and it is his way of staying in the limelite.

Would you really file this under 'astonishing attack'?

Would you really file this under 'astonishing attack'?There have been a lot worse.

He's too yobbish for Radio 2? I imagine if he moved to Radio 2 he'd change the way he approached the show, for a start I'd imagine he'd play more 80's & 90's music than he currently can & I imagine there'll be a lot more music. Failing that, he'd fit in well at 6Music, if Jon Holmes can so can he.

Unfortunately Torygraph readers are stuck in a one track mind and just think he's remained the same for all these years, they never change do they.

The most memorable thing about Bruno Brookes is that he used to go out with - and was spectacularly dumped by - Anthea Turner, around the time she was a Blue Peter presenter I believe.

Nuff said?

[MonkeyMonger]

Wait what? Where was the attack? He said hes great and a talent, but doesnt want people to get bored of him.

Bruno Brookes' real first name is Trevor.

"Someone called Bruno Brookes". Ha. Truly the words of a person too young to remember the time when all R1 DJs had permatans and mullets...

[McGuinness-89]

I thought his first name was Babaling.

[Lactating Man Nips]

There was a Jackie Babbles

"Someone called Bruno Brookes". Ha. Truly the words of a person too young to remember the time when all R1 DJs had permatans and mullets...

I remember them, here's a few example of those "classic cuts" from the late 80's/early 90's, warning you may have nightmares after looking at these.










And the Gods of the mullet

[McGuinness-89]

Brookes is the spitting image of Jim Davidson.

[Nicola_Red]

Good work Johnny, feel the power of the mullet! Business up front, party in the back

[bradcali]

wow-Bruno Brookes was pretty hot in his day!

[Johnny 1989]

Brookes is the spitting image of Jim Davidson.

Poor sod, Davidson is a complete twat in my opinion

Good work Johnny, feel the power of the mullet! Business up front, party in the back

Culshaw's is brilliant, I imagine Moyles has already seen it and mocked him for it a few years back, although his Capital one is just as bad, although it's the pose rather than the hair:

wow-Bruno Brookes was pretty hot in his day!

Should have gone to specsavers

[Splodge]

It does intrigue me where Moyles will go next, I've never really felt he would fit at Radio 2 or 6Music and somewhere like Absolute will be a bit low key for him.

It would never happen, but I would love to see him back on afternoons.

[Yudster]

If it meant the demise of Scott Mills I would like that too.

Classic FM's national licence comes up for renewal in 2011 and is theorically open to outside bidders, so an assumption that Classic FM could just continue unchallenged would be wrong.

Back in February The London Paper reported that Richard Branson may be interested in acquiring this licence and launching a new Virgin Radio. The national commercial FM licences must be distinctly different from the BBC's national radio output, but I did have the thought that should the potential new licencee move away from classical music this could feasibly be a future home for Moyles.

There is still a while yet before this licence is assigned, if at all depending on Ofcom's future plans for FM licences.

Just thought i'd throw it out there - pure speculation - totally talking out my ass - but something to consider as and when he moves on - but for now, like millions of others, i'm enjoying the show and looking forward to at least another 10-11 months of it.

[Yudster]

Well yes it is pure speculation, but its interesting to have a little more understanding of what might transpire with the FM licence situation in the future. I for one had no idea that things were arranged like that, it opens up a whole new arena of possibilities for radio as a whole, not just the possible speculative future of Chris Moyles!

[MK Chris]

I can't believe that they will take away the licence from the broadcaster of the only (I think it is? Radio 3 do it, but also do other types of music don't they?) national classical music station though?

[bradcali]

this would be an ok schedule...

6.30am-Fearne and Reggies breakfast show

10am-Scott Mills

1pm-Greg James

3.30pm-Chris Moyles

7pm-Zane Lowe

what do you think? would be geat to have Chris on afternoons again!(assuming he gets fed up with the early rises of course)

[McGuinness-89]

It would be nice because I could listen to Chris Evans,but it won't happen.

[bradcali]

why not?
