How can BBC get something like that wrong?

[swaddon1903]

But when you leave arguably the biggest radio slot in the country, then anywhere is a step down.

How can BBC get something like that wrong?

Apparently that's been editted now so that line has been deleted, seems it's not true afterall

edited because he doesn't want to make any revelations now and that the BBc news messed up?

That's what i'm hoping. But I thought if he had any big news like that he would have announced it himself on the radio?

Hi all . long time lurker
not sure its been mentioned before, but I happened to notice a few weeks ago that @chrisdjmoyles followed a private twitter account called @tcms2r1 tried to follow it myself, but it was locked . Knew I should have got a screen grab because I can't find it now.

He will be back, the beeb will want their moneys worth

READ THE BOARD BEFORE YOU CREATE DUPLICATE THREADS. I'm sorry to shout, but I'm now sick to the back teeth of merging threads.

Sorry Nic, there's so much going on that it's difficult to keep track. Thanks for fixing it

[Nicola_Red]

That's okay. I know the board is moving fast!

Only the guardian article is from today, since BBc slipped up with the announcement. The rest are last months speculations

Glad someone at the bbc has woken up

His three-and-a-half-hour programme also featured messages from Coldplay's Chris Martin, Jamie Oliver, McFly and Sir Terry Wogan.

Made me lol. Ha, I broke the rules. Yes I'm drunk.


















Anyone record the stream today?

Very sharp RB...

[MK Chris]

Also not the first to say it:

chrysostom wrote:">Well now we know that Dave is now the new editor of BBC News

[dimtimjim]

Doh! Sorry, crediting wrong chap. Very slow RB....

[wireman2004]

Thought the team were going to announce there plans post cms today. Or was that just me reading aleds comments too much.

[richbrown]

Not the first time I've made the same comment as chrysostom much later on. It seems in my haste and excitement to post a witty comment I didn't look to see if it had been made first. I'll keep trying, one day I'll be first.

[a-moron]

I'll keep trying, one day I'll be first.

My wife wishes this every night of coitus.

There have been plenty of rumours on the Guardian, The Sun and Radio Today for a couple of weeks that Chris might be doing the 10pm-12am slot. I hope it's true, I'd be a listener for sure. My theory is maybe BBBen was worried that Chris' listeners would follow him to his new slot if he moved straight there, so he's giving a cooling off period to give Nick Grimshaw a chance to earn the Moyles fans. If Chris isn't doing any more radio this year, then let's hope we hear him on Radio 1 again in the new year. After all, he's contracted to the BBC until 2014.

There is also an argument that having presented the breakfast show for 8 years, his dream job, that he's done what he set out to do and wants to move on. It would be a real loss for radio though, his technical ability let alone his style is first class.

The two aren't mutually exclusive - you could listen to both.

You can, but from the texts, tweets and emails the BBC have been getting about the change it seems like some of the more hardcore Moyles fans have been viewing Nick Grimshaw as some imposter who is taking the show away from their man. I just think giving it some time in the interim would help the new breakfast show.

[Travis Bickle]

It's hardly a surprise that Chris is linked to the 10-12 slot. As peculiar as it may sound I see it as less of a demotion than being shunted to another daytime show. If he just moved to 1-4 say, he would be expected to do a similar show to now in a less prestigious slot. if he moves to 10-12 it would give him more flexibilty to do something new.

It's logical to think that if he stays ar R1 that that would be his next show, especially as no replacement for Grimshaw has been named. The longer that continues the more likely Moyles will be moving there in my opinion. They could just announce in 6-8 weeks that he is returning and build up the hype.

I'd love it if he moved there, so long as he is given the freedom he wants.

If the rumours are true and Dave has left the BBC, how would people feel about a Chris Moyles show without Dave? Would it work? At the start it took me a while (a long while!) to like/'get' Dave, but i eventually did and now i can't really imagine the show without him.
