Chris Moyles denies Sirius XM talks

By | Published on Tuesday 23 November 2010

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Chris Moyles has denied allegations he is in talks with US satellite radio network Sirius XM about moving to the company when his current Radio 1 contract expires.

The News Of The World said the Radio 1 DJ was in talks with the US firm on Sunday. It is widely assumed Radio 1 will ease Moyles out of its peak time slot when his contract comes up for renewal next year. Previous rumours had it that Moyles was in talks with Global Radio about a move to Capital FM, but those were denied too. And both Moyles’s agent and the DJ himself, speaking on ‘This Morning’, denied the Sirius XM gossip yesterday.

Gossipers are still asking why Moyles was seen outside the Sirius offices during a recent trip to New York. But given the satellite network broadcasts Radio 1 Stateside, and he used their studios to present his show when stranded in the US city earlier this year as a result of that ash cloud thing, I’d imagine there were numerous reasons why he might call in there other than he being in deal talks.
