Moyles seems to think that if the guest talks about the thing they are there to promote that the listener wont be interested, therefore he talks about anything other than that subject (usually himself) for most of the time.
Chris is far better at interviews than he used to be, but he still isnt great. He loses sight of the fact that the listener, quite often, will actually think that if a guest has been invited onto the show that they may as well hear what they have to say and have to promote.
These things should be about give and take. In return for appearing on the show to promote their product the guest should play along with the show, but the show should also give the interviewee their time to say what they have to say as well. Moyles doesn't always strike that balance well.
