Went on radio rewind and from there found Chris' Early Breakfast website- it was very basic;
Chris Moyles, Comedy Dave and Producer Ben throw out cheap jibes, terrible jokes and abuse on the Early Bit- Monday to Fridays 0400-0700, and hijack the Breakfast Show studio on Saturday mornings 10:00 - 13:00.
Chris Moyles started his radio career at the age of 16 on Aire FM in Leeds. Since them he’s worked at several other stations, including Radio Luxembourg and London’s Capital FM. At Capital Radio, Chris’s presentation style was outspoken, witty and cheeky. He was voted one of the Faces For 97 in Sky Magazine, who described his show as "bonkers".

Chris Moyles - In His Own Words
Chris Moyles was born as a child and lived through most of his early years as a developing person. He hails from Leeds - that’s in the North by the way - where he started his radio career at the local station, Radio Aire.
He moved onto Radio Luxembourg, which closed down after 9 months.
He then went back to Yorkshire, where he started doing The Evening Bit for Radio Aire’s rival station, The Pulse. After 11 months, he was fired.
After 3 months of sleeping, he moved to Stoke-on-Trent, "Stoke is …an interesting place" says Moyles. He worked on Stoke’s Signal Radio for 10 months, until he was fired.
Chris took 3 months off (as he couldn’t get a job) spending his time writing comedy for various programmes:
"I used to phone up Simon Mayo’s private line using different voices, to try out the stuff I’d written - I don’t think he actually knows this either."
He then moved to Chiltern Radio, which was taken over after 3 months.
Eventually after a year at London’s Capital Radio, he got ‘the call’ from Radio One. Chris said, "no" and so they begged him … and here he is:
"The weird thing is, I went to Luxembourg and the station closed down 9 months later. I went to work for Chiltern and they where taken over 3 months later. After only 2 months at Radio One, there were major schedule changes to the Breakfast Show, the Afternoon Show, the Drivetime Show and the Weekend Breakfast Shows … I’m a jinx."
Chris enjoys doing things and has a passion.
His favorite number is 5 and he doesn’t like answering questions about himself.
That's it.
