Leeds Fan To Host Radio 1 Breakfast Show

Last updated : 07 October 2003 By Kevin Markey
BBC Radio 1 DJ Sara Cox will be replaced as host of the station's breakfast show by Moyles in January.

A few months ago, he was voted "most irritating DJ" in a national survey but that does not deter a United fan!

His anarchic afternoon shows have won him a loyal fan base. Moyles started his radio career at the age of 16 on Aire FM in Leeds and onto stations such as Radio Luxembourg and London's Capital FM.

In 1997, he was voted as one of the Faces for '97 by Sky Magazine. His outspoken style worked well in London and he came to the attention of Radio 1 bosses.

No doubt The Whites will get mentioned to a far bigger audience now and all the way from London too!
