The Chris Moyles Show – RadioX
We had a thread about the rumours around his comeback, and we’ve got a thread about RadioX in general, but I thought we could have a dedicated thread for 'The Chris Moyles Show' itself. But if anyone thinks this thread should be deleted or merged then go ahead...
![]() Chris Moyles returned to radio this morning with ‘The Chris Moyles Show’ on RadioX. With the first show now coming to a close, what did you all think? |

A few teething problems, especially with the live stream cutting out between 7-8, all seems fine now using the app in the car.
Apart from that it's pretty much same as before (with adverts) which I've missed and is nice to have back again. |

I wasn't expecting much but have enjoyed what I have heard. Not that keen on Noel Gallagher but Moyles managed to keep him under control and it made for good radio.
Personally Moyles is one of those people who are annoying but I want to hear what they have to say. Love or loathe him he is probably one of the UKs best radio DJs and I think he has a good home here on Radio X. |

Listened to 30 minutes, heard 1 song then remembered why I didn't like him before. Back to Absolute.

Great to have him back. Music was good and he played a straight professional bat. Dave would have been ideal but Dom was there and the other 2 need to bed in.
All good |

Superb to have him back. Seemed to be enjoying himself, and lots of little digs/references for long term fans to enjoy and talk about. Listening so far, i really think if they could, in the future, go nationwide with their FM signal they would really put a dent in the big stations listening figures

An excellent first show back. More chat than music which I personally like at breakfast, but the music played was good. The ads were less noticeable than I thought they'd be as well, and the breaks not too long. If only commercial radio encouraged talent to this extent all the time, but that's a debate for another day.
Not many negatives apart from the streaming issues which could ultimately be a positive for Radio X if it leads to free publicity along the lines of "Radio X app and website crashes due to demand!" which is how it's being spun on air at least. The new Dave was a bit on the quiet side, but I'm sure that will change after a few shows have passed. |

Classic "It's my first day in a new job' radio this morning for the listeners to relate to.
Strange to hear how many times he mentioned Xfm, but then I guess it was a way of reassuring that it's going to be the same music. Last week I was told a few things which makes sense now, music wise etc it is still Xfm but the style of presenting has changed and it's position in the market has skewed a little so RadioX makes sense. On another note Nick Grimshaw has been going Tweet crazy this morning when he normally just tweets a few times from his personal account during the show. Pippa has worked with Chris before but Dave Masterman has brought magic to many a show on X so best of both worlds there. It reminded me a bit of when you try to get all your old friends out for a beer 3 years after you were always going out and some of them can't make it a few can and you pick up some new friends along the way. |

Never used to listen to Moyles on Radio 1 - just wasn't my kind of station.
However, thought he was superb this morning, good mix of music and chat. I'll be a regular. |

He has the potential to make Radio X big and no reason why they shouldn't be aiming to exceed Absolute radio's audience but don't think they'll ever be as a big as Radio 1, 2, Heart and Capital due to the limited FM coverage whilst a huge amount of radio listening (particularly in car) is done via FM. |

Maybe it's time they did away with the Classic Fm frequency and give the Nationwide frequency to Radio X.

It would if Radio X switched from indie rock to classical music.

Why are people worried about it being mono. Lets face it 4 sings in 3 and a half hours does not warrant stereo surely. I cant get into the all talk no music thing. I also notice Global like their station colours. X Green Smooth purple capital Blue and heart red. I wish him luck though but sadly not my thing.

FM nationwide will never happen, it's all about DAB. They need more bandwidth to at least get up from 80kbps to 128kbps, then I think they could pick up some Radio 1 listeners who've outgrown it.

Classic FM is far more valuable to Global than Radio X will ever be. For a start it appeals to an ABC1 audience, the type of listener who would never tune into the radio equivalent of a stag do.
Radio X; 892,000 people tune into Radio X each week, and 67% of those are in the ABC1 bracket. Classic FM; 69% of Classic FM's audience are ABC1, most are interested in the arts and finer things in life, constantly seeking out aspirational lifestyles, new experiences and ethical choices. So Classic FM getting only a slightly higher 2% more in the ABC1 bracket, what a load of rubbish that Radio X won't appeal to ABC1 when 67% are in this category. Please check your facts before posting! |

According to this; http://www.ukgeographics.co.uk/blog/...-a-b-c1-c2-d-e
ABC1 (Upper & Middle class) is 53% of the population and C2DE (Working class) 47%, so by getting 67% ABC1, Radio X is more likely to appeal to this than to the C2DE. So lets end this talk of Radio X only appealing to lower classes. |
