The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

Anyone know how CM got into the radio business at the start of his career? Did he go in as a news journalist? Did he get the relevant degree?

How did he progress in his career? Did he just do the usual malarky of sending off demos or did he get poached by the bigger fish? How did he adapt? Did he always present, or did he start off backstage?

And how the hell did he manage to get away with the kind of shit he said?

Any info/web sites/audio on this? I'd like to hear an MP3 of his olden days, if anyone's got owt.

Hi,

Chris started his radio career at an early age working for a hospital radio station in Leeds (located in the top of a very large building in a mental unit!). From there his career progressed in leaps and bounds with him joining Aire FM in Leeds at the age of 16.

He then worked for The Pulse, Chiltern Radio, RTL Luxemboug, Signal Radio, GWR and Capital FM - before he finally joined BBC Radio One in 1997 as their second youngest DJ ever (only Noel Edmonds was younger).

No - he didn't go in as a News journalist or go to University. There really isn't an relevant degree into Radio.

Thats something you'd have to ask Chris. You can email him at mailto:[email protected] or contact him by post. I think he always presented.

Yeah, there is this site called http://www.chrismoyles.net

Its really useful, has plenty of sounds, pictures and info on Chris Moyles and his team.

You can hear his 'olden' days at http://chrismoyles.net/cgi-chris/soundv ... que+Moyles

Peterperv,

I remember you asking a question in January 2003 with regards to Chris Moyles and what do I do - look at your other four posts and what do I see - the exact posts.

I hope we were helpful the first time and now the second but come on - tell me you haven't just found this messageboard when clearly this is the biggest website on Chris Moyles on the internet. Do you not feel a little stupid asking when there is a site called http://www.chrismoyles.net?

Are you still studying Com. Radio as part of your A/S Media? Just feel you are taking the piss and you haven't taken peoples advice from last time you posted. They did actually give you some good advice..

You know - google is an excellent tool on the internet.

From that thread of yours I found this:

steven7942 wrote:To be constructive Pete I have emailed the BBC and asked them why they do not currently have the Moyles show on their online BBC Radio Player. I listen to a lot of BBC Radio shows from this due to the time difference between the UK and Canada


Fairly interesting as it backs up what we've been saying recently.

You remember do you? Why didn't you just use the "Find all posts by peterperv" facility like I did?

Well there's always that. I was just highlighting the fact that Adam almost certainly didn't remember it, he just searched through the user's history.

Highlighting the fact? Oh * off.

I do actually remember him regardless of if i've looked at his user's history or not. I actually helped him instead of taking the piss like the first couple of posts did.

I just think he's now taking the piss if he's unable to find some barely heard website called chrismoyles.net or go on to google and type in Chris Moyles.

It really isn't that hard.

It sounded as if you were taking the piss to me, or maybe you were just being patronising as usual. I don't believe you remembered him, you couldn't even remember who Angry Android was.

If you read what Angry Android actually said, I was asking who was he to say that to another person... Refering to shagging your mothers dead corspe doesnt go down very well. Of course I knew who he was..

I'm not going to waste my time with you over a board member who posted in Jan. There is no way I can prove it to you - so why waste my time further?
