A couple more months of us, then it's someone else's turn. Thank you for listening Chris Moyles In June, the BBC's governing body - the Trust - found that Radio 1 still needed to attract more people under 30 years old. That followed a review in 2009 which said Radio 1 should focus on serving 15 to 29-year-olds. Ben Cooper said: "I'd like to thank Chris. Quite simply he's been the most successful breakfast show host in Radio 1 history. "He's done it for more than eight and half years and he's been fantastic." Cooper has already made changes to the schedule including switching Greg James, 26, to Radio 1's main afternoon show from 4-7pm. Greg James replaced 39-year-old Scott Mills, who was moved to the 1-4pm slot. DJ Gemma Cairney, 27, was moved across from digital sister station BBC Radio 1xtra to present a weekend show on Radio 1. Controversies The Chris Moyles show has just over 7.10 million listeners, according to latest official radio figures (Rajar) compared to 7.52 million listeners this time last year.

The DJ launched an on-air tirade against the BBC in September 2010, claiming he had not been paid for two months. The discussion about his salary lasted around 25 minutes and included an appeal to the BBC's director general, Mark Thompson, to sort the situation out. He also revealed on air in 2009 that he'd taken a 20% pay cut because of cost-cutting at the BBC. Breakfast DJs The DJ became Radio 1's longest-serving breakfast presenter in September 2009, breaking the record previously set by Tony Blackburn. The self-styled "saviour of Radio 1" joined the station as early breakfast presenter in 1997 before taking over the main afternoon show in October 1998.
