Presumably George Entwistle knew this was coming. Two major players are leaving their posts. Radio 1 and 1Xtra boss Ben Cooper, in his follow-up email to Chris Moyles' announcement, wrote "quite simply he has been the most successful breakfast show host in Radio 1’s history". Chris is contracted to the BBC until New Year 2014.
Meanwhile, Kevin Bakhurst, Controller of the BBC News Channel and Deputy Head of the BBC Newsroom is leaving in September, to become Managing Director of News and Current Affairs for RTE. News boss Helen Boaden said it was "a huge loss" to the corporation.
