I think Moyles has basically confirmed he's leaving Radio 1 on twitter:

@chrisdjmoyles:

Almost the end of a day of mixed emotions but ultimately an amazing day. Today's show proved that I have the best team and audience ever...To Radio 1, my team and the millions of listeners and fans we have, I honestly can't thank you enough for making my dream come true...Tomorrow is my last show. It's been an incredible rollercoaster of a few lows and a million highs. Overall, the best job ever. Thank you.

I don't think we will hear the team together again on the radio. It's done and over after Friday.

Hopefully we will hear Chris back on radio 1 after JCS, but I think it will be very hard to fit him in without getting rid of another presenter/DJ, and I can't see radio 1 doing that.

I can't see him collaborating with another DJ on another show (for example The Greg James and Chris Moyles show.) Chris has such a big on-air personality and personally, I don't think another DJ would be able to match up to him, either as a co-presenter or as a replacement. Though saying that, I am biased. TCMS is the only radio show I listen to, and probably will ever listen to. (Unless of course they come back!)

I also can't see (If after JCS and other individual team member projects) the entire team coming back together for another show or slot on radio. I would love it, if they did though! Perhaps not Tina though. Dom can read the sports news just as well as she can! :)

I think it would be rather great if the team had a show on my local radio station, perhaps they could have the current breakfast presenters job? I wouldn't complain! :D

Not necessarily! We all know that Chris is a tease! and sadly we know that the 'Chris Moyles breakfast show on radio 1' is going to be over, but his contract is not yet ended, so it might not be the last we hear of him on radio 1!

I may just be clutching at straws though. :(

There is only one place for Chris AND the team to go - Radio 2, 2-5 slot. PLEASE BBC get rid of Steve Wright!!! I would put money on it that he is heading that way. It's the perfect place for him. Radio 2 needs a good shake up and Chris is the man for the job. I have stopped listening to Radio 2 completely. Radcliffe and Maconie were the last to leave. Chris Evens, Ken Bruce, Jeramy Vine, Steve Wright and Simon Mayo - makes me depressed just writing the names....zzzzzzzzzzzz

I really, really hope you're right. I don't R2, but the Steve Wright show I find awful, despite the fact that I think it's quite similar to Chris' style of broadcasting.

In the weeks previous, there were reports that overseas is America could be an opportunity for him, and he did say today 'whether we're in this land or elsewhere'

It's similar in that SW has a team but thats as far as it goes. It's like groundhog day! If I ever tune in by accident I'm transported back to my factory days where we were forced to listen to it for 3 bloody hours every afternoon. Friday was early finishing and what a blessing that was! I don't want to be reminded of shite jobs I did when I was 17! Get him off! And get CM on!

I think it's more similar than you think. Long, exaggerated, OTT jingles. Lots of self laughing (that' no bad thing for their style), similar segues etc.

I'm sure Chris has based a lot of his style on SW.

Listening to Steve Wright on Radio 2 though, its very very clear that he hasn't got anything like the technical skill that Chris has.

Steve Wright is great technically, but a lot of his show is pre-recorded. I think most of it with his team and guests are pre-recorded so it's edited before it goes out. That's why the timing for each segment is impeccable. I think Chris is superior when it comes to spontaneous use of the desk and timing.

Actually I reckon a Chris and Coxy would be an awesome double headed show.

I really do hope he sees his Radio 1 contract out, whether it be a weekend show or a late night one.

I think both would be great. If he did do a late night show, what sort of music would he play? As he wouldn't have to play playlisted stuff, but he'd never play the 'new' stuff Grimmy currently plays in that slot.

According to Aleds twitter when someone asked him if the Chris Moyles Show will be returning, Aled replied that the team won't be returning and he's waiting to find out from Chris if he will be.

"when is the Chris moyles show returning” the team won't be. I'm waiting to find out from Chris if he will."

I think at the moment its unlikely Chris will return to Radio 1, does anyone else think he will be on commercial radio next, or even another a bbc station?
