Timeline
Christopher David Moyles (born 22 February 1974) is an English radio and television presenter, author and presenter of The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X.
After hosting his own Saturday Evening Show on Aire FM (and occasionally serving as a stand-in presenter), he was then employed as a presenter at Radio Luxembourg in 1992, until the station closed.
In 1993, he gained a job at the Pulse of West Yorkshire, presenting the evening show from 7.00 pm–10.00 pm.
He remained there until early 1994 when he was dismissed for comments made about the station's previous programme controller.
Moyles subsequently joined Signal 1 in Stoke-on-Trent – again presenting The Evening Bit from 7.00 pm–10.00 pm.
He remained there until he was dismissed by the station's programme controller, who he refers to as a "spineless bastard" in his first autobiography.
In 1995 Moyles was heard on the Chiltern Radio Network, presenting the evening show from 7.00 pm–10.00 pm, before taking on the late show from 10.00 pm–1.00 am.
This show was simulcast on Horizon Radio, Chiltern Radio, Severn Sound and Northants 96.
In 1996, Moyles joined London station Capital FM, hosting his weekend show The Late Bit, which went out on Friday and Saturday evenings, and covering for other DJs.
It was at Capital that Moyles fell out with fellow DJ Neil Fox.
Moyles moved to BBC Radio 1 in July 1997 and left the station in September 2012.
After declining the offer of presenting the breakfast show on rival station Kiss 100, Moyles joined Radio 1 in July 1997.
Moyles was voted one of the Faces for 97 by SKY magazine and presented his first show on Radio 1 on 28 July 1997, hosting the 4.00 am–7.00 am Early Breakfast show – soon called The Early Bit.
In May 1998, his work was recognised with the award of the Silver Sony Awards DJ of the Year, and he was styling himself as 'The Saviour of Early Morning Radio'.
Within the year Moyles was promoted to a Saturday breakfast, then Saturday mid-morning slot from 10.00 am–1.00 pm.
At Radio 1, he presented most of his shows with David "Comedy Dave" Vitty, who worked behind the scenes at the station before Moyles' arrival.
After standing in regularly for Kevin Greening and Zoe Ball on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, Moyles' next promotion came in October 1998 when he took control of the drivetime show from 4.00 pm–5:45 pm.
Moyles presented the show from 1998 with his sidekick.
The show was extended to 3.00 pm–5:45 pm in February 2001.
Previously he has presented The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1 from 2004 to 2012 and Chris Moyles' Quiz Night from 2009 to 2012 on Channel 4.
Moyles has worked at various radio stations, including Radio Luxembourg (under the pseudonym Chris Holmes) and Capital FM.
He has presented the early breakfast show, a Saturday morning show, and the drive time show (from September 1998 to December 2003), before presenting the breakfast show from 5 January 2004 to 14 September 2012.
Moyles is BBC Radio 1's longest serving breakfast presenter.
Moyles has become famous for his maverick bad-boy broadcasting style on BBC Radio 1 and has been embroiled in numerous controversies, including accusations of sexism and homophobia, due to statements he has made on the air and in the press.
He frequently made appearances on several television shows including Hotel Babylon, a celebrity version of Supermarket Sweep, Top Gear, The Charlotte Church Show, The F-Word, The Friday Night Project, The One Show, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Richard & Judy and The Paul O'Grady Show.
Moyles was born in Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, to Christopher, a postman, and housewife Hannah Veronica "Vera" Moyles, (from Dublin) and he was educated at Mount St Mary's Catholic High School.
While at school, he began his broadcasting career at WBHS (Wakefield's Broadcast to Hospitals Service), a voluntary staffed hospital radio station in the West Yorkshire city.
After WBHS, Moyles moved to local radio station Aire FM as an assistant for DJ Carl Kingston.
During this time, he was also a presenter on Radio Top Shop in the Leeds Briggate branch.
On 5 January 2004, Moyles started presenting Radio 1's breakfast programme, named The Chris Moyles Show, switching places with Sara Cox.
He had been appointed to increase the ratings for the show and did so, putting on an extra 1,000,000 listeners to the audience in the first quarter of 2004.
After a successful first year, Moyles was awarded 'DJ of the Year' by readers of The Sun.
By 2005, Moyles and his team had succeeded in increasing the morning audience, with his programme's audience rising to 6.5 million.
This was coupled with an increase in the overall Radio 1 audience share.
With 895,000 listeners in London in the third quarter of 2005, he succeeded in overtaking Johnny Vaughan to take the position of the capital's most listened to youth breakfast show.
Moyles' audience ratings continued to increase each week and led to him winning a gold Sony Radio Award in 2006 for best entertainment show.
With the release of the RAJAR listening figures on 3 August 2006, Moyles had added a further 470,000 listeners to the Breakfast Show, taking the average listenership up to 6.79 million.
On 10 May 2007, RAJAR figures confirmed that Moyles had increased his listening figures to 7.06 million, breaking the seven million barrier for the first time with the station having 10.55 million listeners overall.
Moyles again increased his audience to 7.72 million as of 1 May 2008 slightly narrowing the gap between him and Terry Wogan, the highest-rated radio show in the UK at the time.
The station's overall listener figure is now over 11 million.
