I just had to respond to the news that Chris Moyles has just announced that he's leaving the breakfast show in September .It was a day I'm sure most of us hoped would not come for a long time.Best to Chris and the team for the future. I just can't stop crying!I hope we'll still hear Chris on the radio somewhere though!

Here is a link to the sad news http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/18792684

I am so gutted... I really am!

[bmstinton93]

It's about time. He's had a brilliant stint which I'm sure he's very very proud of.

[Candyman]

I knew this would happen soon, but in a couple of months!!, I thought he had another year and a bit left on his contract, I suppose he just wants to do it his way before anybody does for him, very sad day

[monkeyperth]

It sounded like he isn't going to make 10 years :S

[Nicola_Red]

I'm walking down the street in a daze. I can't believe I just heard that!

[Travis Bickle]

I thought he was joking!

[Munki Bhoy]

I really don't know what to say.

[DevilsDuck]

That is totes-balls!

[Nicola_Red]

I thought he was joking!

Me too. Kept waiting for him to make some stupid joke and stop!

[monkeyperth]

I am incredibly surprised by my reaction. I came into the office early to get some stuff done and Im now in a daze too

[R94N]

Wasn't expecting that this morning.

[beetlejuice]

It was inevitable the new radio 1 and Chris were never going to mix - like oil and water. Let's hope we hear him somewhere soon where he can be himself again. Good luck Chris.

[Travis Bickle]

The timing has to have something to do with the musical doesn't it?

[R94N]

I really think Aled should have announced what they were doing for the Torch again first...

[jocky85]

I blame Ess. They put ideas into their head

[Travis Bickle]

It's sad, and I will have great memories of the show, but it had reached it's natural end in my opinion. I look forward to a new, fresh Chris Moyles show wherever and whenever that may be.

[Nicola_Red]

In hindsight, I guess that's why they've been winding down the regular features like tedious.

[Zoot]

I thought he was joking!

Yep, me too. It was only when I realised he was was reading something that I thought 'Hang on a minute....'

I didn't see that coming.

[chrisjames]

It really is true-here's the official news release http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/18792684

Looks like you're right travis. The shows ending just as the musical starts.I guess Ben Cooper didn't think Chris could fully commit to both ..

[G-Sizzle]

Tell me I didn't just hear that!!?

But like others have said, the new radio one isn't a good home for Moyles. I don't think I'm the only person who only listens to R1 for the moyles show. The rest of their output is utter dross, why they insist on playing the music they do baffles me.

This is a really sad day, hopefully Chris and co. will find a new station, but with Chris' fingers in so many different pies I think this is the end of Moyles' radio adventure.

[dreamer1978]

I'm so sad I thought it was a joke to begin with. Like most people I wasn't expecting it this morning.

[R94N]

The replacement is apparently going to be announced on Newsbeat at 10.30. But...who?

[Moyles=Legend]

Please not Sara Cox or Scott Mills. Anyone but them...

[R94N]

Nick Grimshaw perhaps. Either way I won't be listening.
