BBC Radio 1 host loses 500,000 listeners in three months
The Radio 1 Breakfast show host, who launched an extraordinary on-air tirade against his BBC bosses last month in a row over pay, lost more than half a million listeners in the third quarter of this year, the figures showed.
According to the latest ratings from Rajar (Radio Joint Audience Research) 7.1 million weekly listeners tuned in to his show compared to 7.7 million people the previous quarter.
The figures do not cover his outburst on September 22 – three days after the measuring period ended. One station insider said the figures were an expected "seasonal fluctuation" caused by the school holidays.
Moyles, who is understood to earn nearly £600,000 a year, was comprehensively beaten by Chris Evans, his Radio 2 morning rival.

he's had a good run and he does well, but maybe it is a time for some new blood in the mornings.

I must admit he does seem to need some new material.
