AIBU to think Chris Moyles would be a great replacement for Sara Cox on the Radio 2 tea time slot?

Hes a sexist misogynist twat

He currently does the breakfast show on Radio X.

There’s no way Chris Moyles will get a gig with BBC again now. There’s been lots of publicity recently about his Charlotte Church ‘coming of age’ countdown back in the day. He’s firmly established on Radio X anyway.

Nope, he’s a twat

Changingplace · 14/05/2026 21:51

Not a bloody chance they’d have Moyles on Radio 2, or anywhere on the BBC, he was enough bother when he was on R1 and his show is still stuck in that era anyway, very dated.

My mum always liked him because we’re from the same sort of area as him so she’d listen when he had the breakfast slot on radio 1. I’ll never forget him mocking the shit out of Fall Out Boy. They were my favourite band at the time and I’ve just never liked him since. He’s a bit of a twat.

Flamingojune · 14/05/2026 21:57

I would imagine after the scott mills debacle, moyles is the last person they'd employ

ChristmaslightsuptilJanuary · 14/05/2026 21:57

Fuck no

binliner · 14/05/2026 21:58

ive never understood why he was popular, he was never funny

pouletvous · 14/05/2026 21:59

Isnt he cancelled?

No. Hes on the radio x breakfast show

OonaStubbs · 14/05/2026 22:07

They need an intelligent and classy presenter, not a moron like Moyles.

Brbreeze · 14/05/2026 22:08

I would love for him to disappear from Radio X, which I listened to prior to him arriving, so he has my vote.

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 14/05/2026 22:23

I'd love it. Used to revise to Chris Myles and Comedy Dave in that slot on radio 1 when I was doing GCSEs, would be a proper throwback

Fizbosshoes · 14/05/2026 22:24

Id like OJ borg to move to that slot

Changingplace · 14/05/2026 22:34

I think Rylan might get it.

Ablondiebutagoody · 14/05/2026 22:53

He's a prick

Rbof · 14/05/2026 22:56

Please god, no. Horrible man.

Bichette · 14/05/2026 22:58

Bring back Simon Mayo, I say.

ColinOfficeTrolley · 14/05/2026 22:58

Good good NO! He's an absolute cunt.

I can't believe he appeals to anyone with at least one brain cell.

Screamingabdabz · 14/05/2026 23:00

He should never have had a radio show in the first place. He reminds me of blokes that used to cat call and make lewd comments to passing women off scaffolding on building sites. He belongs in that era. Leave him there.

Oohanothername · 14/05/2026 23:16

I adored him in the 90s and 00s or whenever he was on R1 breakfast show. Listened every single day without fail. He was irreverent and fresh at the time and funny, although yes the twat bit was part of his persona.

Since he came back to radio I absolutely can't fucking stand him. He's tired and dated now, not funny at all and needs to drop the 'im a massive twat' persona. It doesn't wash any more. He's not changed what he does at all. No way would or should R2 take him on.

ForumPoster26 · 14/05/2026 23:17

I imagine the pay is better at Radio X & think he prefers breakfast shows, so don’t think he’d want it even if offered (which seems unlikely).
I don’t think you can compare the Charlotte Church comment with the things others have done but it does seem to get brought up a lot when other DJs/presenters are sacked.
I find him entertaining & about a million others listen to the radio show so I’m not the only one (although heart & radio 1 get four times that).

Horrible obnoxious man
