But, as he announces at the beginning of this book, this is not really an autobiography but more of a guide to his rise to power. It's a bit sketchy in terms of how he managed to command the sort of salaries he is on now. It's like one minute he is on the same as me (ie: shit wages) and the next, he is raking in pots of money.

In July 2006, communications watchdog Ofcom found Moyles in Breach of rule 1.5 of the Ofcom Broadcasting Code Rules for an incident in which he referred to female listeners as "dirty whores". A listener objected to an item in which the presenter discussed people who urinated in the shower. He considered that the presenter's reference to women who did this as "dirty whores" was unacceptable at this time of the morning. [60] [61] Pay fracas [ edit ] But what did he want to do? Well, after the Superstar tour was over, he wrote a pilot episode of a sitcom, about a washed-up radio host who wasn’t on radio any more and had no money and had to share a flat. He wrote far too much and the BBC turned it down, but he went to Los Angeles and met a few people who were encouraging, and since then he’s written three film screenplays and two sitcoms. He finds it hard – he doesn’t enjoy the planning, just wants to start writing dialogue – but “my writing’s got better, and they’re all just sitting there, these scripts. It’s not like it’s been a massive waste of my time, it’s just not been very lucrative.” Swash, Rosie (15 January 2010). "N-Dubz's Dappy sent death threats to BBC Radio 1 listener". The Guardian. London.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 6.79million. On 10 May 2007, RAJAR figures confirmed that Moyles had increased his listening figures to 7.06million, breaking the seven million barrier for the first time with the station having 10.55million listeners overall. Moyles again increased his audience to 7.72million 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 11million. It's a very funny book, if waning and tiresome towards the end. His blokey fascination with mentioning any female in this book, apart from his mother (be they celebrities, work colleagues or the general public) and supplementing their introduction with how large their breasts are was enough for me to miss the last few chapters, as my eyes glazed over one too many times. On 19 April 2016 it was announced that there would be an additional pre-recorded show on Saturday mornings between 8am-11.00am featuring clips from the week, interviews with studio guests plus new content, [23] which means that Chris is on air on Radio X 6 days a week.
