The Beeb arent commercially driven so I doubt they will give a sh!t. Your licence fee will still go up. Its just it will help fund some other worthless so called celebrity......
The BBC aren't commercially driven: true. But as part of the licence each station has to justify itself as catering for a different audience. Radio 1 is aimed at 14-24ish, Radio 2 is 24-40ish, Radio 3 - specialist classical/jazz music, Radio 4 is 40+ talk/news/current affairs/documentary, Radio 5 is for news and sports, 6Music - specialist music, etc.
The Chris Moyles show was no longer attracting the right audience for Radio 1's demographic.
I met him about 10yrs ago and he was quite egotistical then, so after so many years proclaiming himself as the "saviour of Radio 1" (and with the ratings back him up) his ego has just grown and grown.
The same thing happened with Chris Evans when he did the breakfast show on Radio 1 before. But he left and had a long break. Now he's back on Radio 2 for the breakfast show and he's much better than he used to be.
By the way, the licence fee is currently frozen, so it's not costing you any more and the replacement for Chris Moyles is likely to have a much smaller salary. Indeed even the new Director General of the BBC who started today has a significantly smaller salary (about £100k less) than the previous guy.
If you don't like what's on the BBC radio stations, don't listen, it's your choice. Personally I can't stand listening to commercial stations, I hate the way the adverts get in the way of the music and chat.
If you want to listen to something on the way to work, but you don't like what's on the radio, why don't you try downloading one of the millions of podcasts available.
