Opinion: What should be done with Chris Moyles?
Posted By James on Oct 01 2010 10:04 PM
In old-fashioned terms, Chris Moyles has crossed the line. In fact, he has more than crossed the line – he has gone out from the stage and into the audience and it is a completely sackable offence. You just don't wash dirty laundry in public like that. I think he should be sacked but I don't think there's an atmosphere of sacking at the moment – I think the BBC is just interested in keeping itself out of the Daily Mail. But I think that this is possibly his last contract. Other than extreme tiredness, I cannot understand it. I listened to him the following morning and I couldn't believe how much the show had its head up its arse. As for going for 30 minutes without playing music – it's a music station. If we did that in the 80s we would have been sacked for that alone. It did remind me of when Tony Blackburn, who was the first Radio 1 breakfast host, split from his wife and went into meltdown – I remember listening to that when I was 16 and it nearly put me off wanting to become a DJ.
