Chris Moyles in the afternoon ?

The Sun believes Radio 1 is preparing to move Chris Moyles from the Breakfast Show. I know I'll sound crusty, but I'll be pleased to see him go. The conversation, which goes on too long, is based on teasing/verging on bullying; the humour is about sex and drink; and the only sort of music about which there's enthusiasm are tracks which are dancefloor "chunes". However, I can't be sure the style of a Radio 1 morning host has a lasting impact on teenagers - it can't do, can it ? I had Tony Blackburn. Who shaped you ?
