I don't know what percentage of people think the first thing, and how many the second, but personally I quite like his show. I guess what it comes down to is enough of the Radio 1 audience like him.
Moyles is an example of what passes for wit and humour in a breakfast show DJ these days. Unfortunatley he isn't alone, vulgarity, bullying and an underlying air of vacant stupidity and bigotry
Seem to be par for the course these days.

I think Moyles is far brighter and nicer than his 'image' - and that's what it is - suggests.
He aims for the 15 - 24 year old audience, and judging by his listening figures, he is right on target, but like a lot of 'personalities' in the media, he is not for everyone.
Still beats the pants of Parkie's TV show, sitting there gurning like an idiot in the cut-aways while Joan Rivers phones in another routine similar to the ones she's been doing for the last twenty years.
