How would they fund it?
Personally I really like him as a presenter. His randomness (and the rest of the team) makes my journey to work incredilby interesting, especially as a lot of my commutes cover the whole show. I always ALWAYS switch off when that retard comes on at 10am.
Even if the majority of the population are actually HAPPY to pay the license fee because they enjoy the beeb's programming? That doesn't sound very democratic to me.
dangerstat seems to think the commercial channels are just as good as the bbc so we don't need to fund the bbc to offer the same programs. But what i argued earlier is that commercial channels ARE NOT able to offer the same quality as the BBC because of the unique way the bbc is funded.

You have to be joking right honestly he is so bad. The amazing long pauses about nothing and just general nothing talk drives me nuts. He used to be good but now is just crap repeats himself and doesnt bring any new jokes to the table. I honestly hope he gets fired. the rest of the show is great hes just crap old and fat. I hope he changes but i know he wont. hopefully the rest of the team keep there jobs are there great unlike fat boy pause when ever possible
So we should only pay for unpopular programming?
I dont like radio 2/3/4 and only listen to radio 1 for a short journey in the afternoon usually but i enjoy listening to Moyles on the rare occasion. So in your world we should stop paying for all the radio stations because someone out there doesnt like it?
/edit
BY THE WAY ITS NOT TRUE, HES NOT BEING SACKED, READ THE BBC WEBSITE. PLEASE READ THREAD AND ENGAGE MIND.
im tired

I'd read the BCC website but it doesnt exit
. I'd love for him to go as I find him really unfunny especially his so called team. Repeating a joke 20 times doesnt make it funny which is what he does.

he'll never be sacked, only leave when the time is right.
Like him or not, hes pulled in a good amount of listeners in to Radio1 and they'd be silly to let him go

A 1/3 of a million people download the Moyles podcast every week.
For a radio podcast, that's great.

To all the people saying they'd love for him to go, is this because you think something more to your taste will be scheduled? or is it just sour grapes because some people do enjoy his show even though you don't. There's plenty else for you to listen to so why take such pleasure in the fact that something other people enjoy would be taken off-air? Seems quite twisted to be happy about something which would disappoint a lot of people.

He appears on TV too much, I have to admit I never get a chance to catch him on Radio 1 but on TV he seems quite dull and predictable.
I think he is great in the mornings.. I really hate listening to the normal ***** music that is played on Radio1, but love listening to the Moyles team talking crap in the mornings. If he wasn't on Radio1, I probably wouldn't listen at all.
So you want BBC Radio and TV to have a host of programming that wouldn't be paid for by the private sector? Which, by definition, would be programs that wouldn't get them the ratings to get the advertising in? So you want the BBC to solely show unpopular programming that no one else would pay for?
That would be a huge waste of license fee money.
I listen to Moyles every day - it's about the only reason I listen to Radio 1. I might not bother if they get rid of him. As others have said, I like the fact he doesn't play music. I'd rather listen to them talk than listen to some of the shocking stuff on Radio 1's playlist. He'll even help you out by saying 'we're going to play two songs, so you've got 8 minutes to have a shower'.
It's not totally consistent brilliance - the hour I listened to on Friday was awful. But it's the best thing on breakfast Radio by far - in my opinion (and a lot of the 7.4m listeners seem to agree).

This^^^
I started listening when I was going up to Basingstoke and back every day a couple of years ago and it’s a great show. I used to be in the car between 6:30 & 8:00 and there were no local radio stations that came close to being entertaining or I could stay tuned into long enough to enjoy a whole show.
I can see why not everyone would like him but it certainly makes the morning commute go much quicker.
Although my current job’s main office is closer I have been doing a 3 hour commute for some site supervision since Feb and I find that it makes the journey much easier. It is nice to be entertained and not just listen to music.
When you have a day in day out long commuting journey to make, hearing the same music all the time (i.e. CDs/MP3s etc gets monotonous). Having a live radio show which is different every day is almost a necessity.

I used to listen to him all the time but now not so much, I think his ego has really taken over and he's not as good as he used to be
I'm really glad he's not going. He's the only thing on radio worth listening to.
Dangerstat, take a couple of days to cool off, you need it. When you come back I hope you've grown up a little.
Oh, and Scott Mills used to be great. It's only when he hit the big time of the main afternoon show (the most important one after breakfast IMO) that he started going downhill. Slowly at first, but getting worse and worse now.
The Golden Hour and the Wonder Years are still brilliant, too.

I don't understand all this hate for Chris Moyles. Its not like anyone is forcing you to listen to him or anything, just change the radio channel.
Im taking a guess that people don't like him because hes more successful than them. Most if not all of you couldn't do what he does
