Evans is more of an easy listen than Moyles, but Moyles' fanbase is pretty loyal. Hasn't he held onto the Radio 1 breakfast show longer than anyone else?
Evans moving to Radio 2 could cause a big shake up though, as for the first time the two breakfast hosts aren't so different from each other.

Evans has already shown him up before, as has Sir Terry. Moyles may be the so-called (albeit self-titled) "Saviour of Radio 1", but is that really so hard on a station that is quite widely regarded as being absolute rubbish.

Moyles and Evans have already proven to be more successful on less fashionable radio channels than Moyles has on Radio 1. I really cannot stand that talentless man.

I like Radio 2, but if Radio 1 hadn't gone all niche marketing it would still be the epitome of dullness that it was a decade ago. The fact that R1 aimed so specifically at what they perceive their target audience to be allowed R2 to diversify and pickup a lot of R1 listeners as a consequence.

Dubious claim RE Wogan IMHO.
They're both very different people with different presenting styles, so how one can "show the other one up" is beyond me. After all, there can't be many people who are torn between which show to listen to.

True (both posts). I'm not much of a radio listener at all (used to be, but the MP3 player killed that off), but when I do listen, it's either local or R2. I always used to listen to R1, including breakfast.

And I'd stick my neck out and say that the age group that Wogan plays to is far more likely to listen to Radio than the Moyles demographic. They're busy living their lives at a million miles an hour, so deciding which is more popular based on listening figures isn't as black and white as it first appears.

I listen to R1 for Moyles' show, then I switch over to Ken Bruce when it's finished. I tend to stay on R2 until late afternoon and, depending on how cringeworth Steve Wright is being, I either stay tuned or flip over to Scott Mills on R1.

I enjoy the Chris Moyles Breakfast show in the mornings, but more for the team than Chris himself; I find him annoying, a bighead and quite bratty but I enjoy the camaradary between Comedy Dave, Dom, Rachel, Aled and the others.

Chris Moyles seems to be moving onto television with every opportunity amidst releasing several books, an album and plunging into a lot of televised charity events - no matter what happens with his radio show I imagine he's going to be 'around' for quite some time to come.

This. I started listening to Wogan last year because I just couldn't stand the big boys club that radio one breakfast was becoming. I'm glad Chris Evans is taking over because his show was probably my favourite - I guess I'm kind of inbetween the target demographic for R1 and R2.

I detest the Moyles show, I find it unfunny, forced and just utter crap.

I've also not been a fan of Chris Evens until fairly recently but I picked up his autobiography on Audible and since listening to that I've sampled his afternoon Radio 2 show. It was much better than I expected it to be and I'm quite looking forward to hearing him for breakfast. I get the feeling (and I hope) that it'll be quite like the old Noel Edmunds breakfast show used to be on Radio 1.

My big impression of Chris Evens' show was that he was having fun presenting it, that came over really well and I think it's very important. Chris Moyles just sounds as though he's talking down to the listeners, I find him very arrogant and I don't like that.
