I hadn't considered the slot might be used for a Vaughan sport slot. Nice move.
We really are spoilt for choice for humorous Saturday mid-morning shows on UK radio. Vaughan Frank Skinner Russell Kane Jon Richardson & Matt Forde Rhod Gilbert Graeme Norton (to a lesser extent) |

I'd bet the kickabout is effectively 'The Warm Up' that he did at Talksport

Wonder what Chris Moyles was hinting at during his rant at 06:30 this morning?

Do presenters get paid for best of shows, seeing as they have already been paid once for the content?

Also moaned about still only being on 'crappy' mono, so despite all those who say it doesn't matter Chris obviously thinks it's an issue. |

He went on about how great Radio X was but it was still a struggle getting people to convert to DAB, sounds like the bosses had words and he had to reign it in, thinking he's using the digital only as an excuse why his no.s are nowhere near what he achieved on Radio 1. Rajar results are coming up so he's probably planning his response if the figures are not what they wanted.

Before that, I was listening to moyles by recording the 1st hour from 6.30 on my Iphone, using Tune In Radio, then playing it back via the AUX input!!! By adding Moyles on Sat, I seriously doubt they are disappointed in him in any way!! |

From what Jon Holmes said this afternoon, this new weekend schedule was kind of forced on them, his contract wasn't up for renewal yet so they didn't know he was leaving until the last minute it seems.

Interesting that Moyles stated his Saturday show won't just be best ofs but will feature lots of new content all be it pre-recorded |

I guess the demotion was a knock back for Jon but think Radio X was the bigger gig than he has now, hopefully he left on good terms so if Talk Radio goes bust he'll have the option of a return on Radio X, the 1-4pm slot is lacking some personality! |

I know he gets 5 days a week, but will the 1-4pm on a semi national network (D2) on a brand new station with little promotion really get more listeners than he got doing weekend breakfast on a higher profile station available nationally on D1 and in FM in two large cities?

Chris was pretending just now that the Saturday show will be live and drunken after an all-nighter.
The promos are also suggesting that he has to get up on a Saturday to do it. Funny, but presumably all completely untrue. |

How does that work exactly? If his contract wasn’t up for renewal yet how did he leave? The whole point of contracts is security for both the presenter and the radio station. I can’t see how he ‘surprised’ the station unless he broke his contract and walked...?

As Moyles described this morning Jon tunneled his way out of the Global building like a prison escape leaving the rest of them still stuck inside, so Radio X breakfast show fully acknowledging the schedules changes are down to his departure.

Would Jon still have got paid for 5 days a week for the rest of the contract if he stayed at Radio X?

On the show yesterday, Jon said that he needed lawyers to get him out of the contract.

Yeah theres a couple of weird things - why was Jon allowed to say on air against usual Global "he never existed" protocol. And why did they let him get out of contract.
