any one have any idea how many people they employ just for the show?

if newsbeat employ 52 they the show must have 1000's?

[DevilsDuck]

...why would the show have 1000s

Newsbeat would have more as they have reporters all over the place and loads of researcher etc

[What]

They employ several thousand. If you think about it, they need a person to play each song, each jingle, each bed. Teams to control the lights and hold the microphones... Not to mention the 6 people it takes to Google the weather for each of Dom's reports.

Thousands.

Johnny Yawn has to employ people to listen.

And still someone else to open all the windows for a few extras.

Please show your workings out.

[reviloslater]

Wow, another ridiculous thread!

[novalinnhe]

*laughs*

And @ess: the show has about a dozen people on it. You'll hear about most of them as you listen to the show.

Actually the answer is three - Chris, Dave and Dom. All the rest of the people who work on the show are employed by the BBC, not the Chris Moyles Show.

[DevilsDuck]

See....always right!

Don't forget the people who hunt the elephants that are needed so that each record they play can be fashioned from their tusks.

Or have they finally switched to Rhino horn?

It's not often that a newbie makes me laugh, but you did just that. Well done.

Lol.

But the Chris Moyles Show isn't a company. They are all employed by the BBC aren't they?

No, Chris, Dave and Dom are all freelance, and work for the BBC in much the same way as a journalist might work for several papers/magazines at once without being contractually bound to any particular one.

Hence how Chris is able to do the Breakfast Show and Quiz Night and Dom can do Newsbeat and ITV voiceovers, not to mention Dave and Coach Trip!
