I was listening to Steve Wright today on Radio 2 and I thought how perfect this slot would be for Chris Moyles, I'm also quite angry that not having Chris Moyles currently on National Radio is a utter waste of talent he belongs in radio not on stage or TV.
I also feel that Simon Mayo and Steve Wright have had there time on National Radio and they should now make way for the likes of Chris Moyles who no doubt will increase the listeners hugely.

Steve Wrights show is now so stale it has mould growing on it.
Yeah Steve Wright would be better on Smooth 70's or Gold I think, the show sounded utterly boring and stale.
Chris moyles would bring so much life to Radio 2, and with Chris Evens in the morning it certainly would be my station to listen to.
This is why I love Digital Spy.
The guy is under contract to BBC Radio. He may appear, he may not. Steve Wright is enjoyed by many however that's not to say that Chris Moyles may appear at Radio 2.
I type this so often but don't mind repeating it again as I personally think Steve is perfect afternoon listening.
Steve's show is the most listened to UK afternoon radio show so why would he be replaced?
Should Moyles ever come to Radio 2, and I hope he does, then it will surely be via a weekend slot once a week to start with to test audience reaction. I'd sooner listen to Chris Moyles on Saturday afternoon than Dermot O Leary who can't seem to ever find time to do the show live any longer.
I think a talk format would suit him
Perfectly
Or LBC, BBC London or Talk Sport?
Spot on! Long live Wrighty
Radio 2 already has too many post Bannister R1 rejects.
I'd like Moyels back, but in the morning on 2.
As talking seems to be all that Moyles ever did on Radio 1 the above suggestions would be most suitable. In fact anything to keep him OFF radio 2 please.
He covered for Greg James once and it was just him.
I don't think he'll ever get 'the old team' back together (for various reasons), but both Simon Mayo and Chris Evans run a 'limited' Zoo style of radio (in that they have regular people on-air each day, but not to the same level or amount as Moyles did), and I'm sure he would do something like that.
Would imagine him and Dom back together, but not maybe Dave of course...
If he has any sense he'll spend the time trying new projects like Jesus Chris Superstar, seeing if any of them work for him, and then see if he can get his way into Radio 2. Given how Moyles matured over his eight years at breakfast, another few years would probably make him ideal for the station. It also lowers the possibility of a horrible clash with Chris Evans.
He couldn't just barge in to breakfast or drivetime, his (somewhat unfair) reputation would preceed him. But as stated by other posters, a wee weekend show to get him established at the station would be the start point, then deputising on Radio 2, maybe for Steve Wright.
Ever thought Wright might step down eventually like Wogan did? Agree on O Leary his show is just awful
Well he managed it at Signal Radio, Chiltern and Capital! In fact I thought his shows there were better than on Radio 1, as this was Chris Moyles before he was so up himself.
I can't imagine the brash, rude, insulting Moyles at Radio 2. Evans in the morning, Moyles on afternoons? No way -wouldn't happen unless its years later eg Moyles V2.0 like Evans V.2.0 reborn.
On a music based show then yes but on a talk show then no.
I think he would. As others have said, he did really when he covered for Greg James with little notice and minimal preparation.
Although, last summer, he teamed up with Scott Mills to present a segment from the Hackney Weekend. They sounded brilliant together.
I remember sitting in the car, waiting for them to finish because I didn't want to miss any.
Whether a show could support the 2 of them together for the long term is questionable, but with Mills having limited time left at Radio 1, I personally find it an interesting prospect.
Not that I'd want Danny Baker to leave his Saturday morning 5Live slot because he's excellent, but if for any reason in the future this gig did become vacant, I think it would be ready made for Chris Moyles to present. A football orientated show with an irreverent style - it's ideal.
