The News of the World reports that Chris will sign a new one-year deal with Radio 1 meaning he will remain as the station's breakfast show host until 2010. The agreement has been signed off by the BBC and ends speculation that Chris would be forced out in September.
In fact, the BBC have already organised a big bash to celebrate Moylesey becoming Radio 1's longest-serving host. An insider at the station told them "Chris has been crowing about re-signing but it doesn't matter what he says - it's up to us to make that decision. Over the last week, we've agreed we definitely want him to carry on. So we are signing a one-year deal with Chris in the coming weeks that will take effect in July. Of course we are aware of nurturing young talent like Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac, but there is no one who is ready to replace Chris and he's still at the top of his game."
"The money side of things are still being thrashed out but it's likely he's going to take a very small pay cut. We are in a recession after all - but the cut won't be on the same level as Jonathan Ross or Graham Norton."
