BRITAIN’S two top radio DJs are slugging it out.
It was seconds out on Thursday when new listener figures were revealed.
They showed that Radio1’s CHRIS MOYLES has 857,000 listeners in London compared with 852,000 for Capital FM’s JOHNNY VAUGHAN.
Moyles landed the first blow yesterday morning when he bragged about putting on more listeners, saying: “Johnny Vaughan, if you are listening, have a really pleasant weekend.”
Sun columnist Johnny was furious.
He exploded into a four-letter rant about Moyles when he rang me yesterday to set the record straight.
He raged: “I’ve got more listeners in London than Moyles — he’s a fat ****.”
Last night the Capital camp issued a statement claiming that Vaughan, whose show is on from 6am to 9am, beats Moyles during the hours when both DJs are on air.
Moyles does the 7am to 10am stint.
Capital said: “Radio 1 said Chris Moyles trumps all the commercial DJs, with 857,000 listeners in London.
“This is 7am to 10am. If you take our comparative audience at that time, we’re at 948,000 (which means Johnny trumps all the other DJs).
