Chris Moyles made his radio comeback on Monday morning, fronting the breakfast show on the newly-rebranded Radio X, formerly Xfm.

Ahead of the station’s relaunch, fans and critics questioned Radio X’s new “male-focussed” approach. However, after setting the record straight during the first 30 minutes of his show, Chris soon got back into the swing of things, and pleasantly surprised the majority of listeners:

After almost 30 minutes of chatter, Chris officially opened his show with Girls Aloud’s ‘Love Machine’, as a direct response to Radio X’s critics.

Radio listening figures are issued quarterly, so fans will have to wait until January to hear how Chris fares against his commercial radio rivals, and the BBC’s offerings.

The Radio X rebrand has seen a full shake-up of the station’s offerings, and veteran presenters John Kennedy and Ian Camfield are being joined by Chris, Vernon Kay and Kaiser Chiefs’’ Ricky Wilson.
