Chris Evans has truly arrived as the successor to Sir Terry Wogan. Not because his breakfast show managed more than 9 million listeners. Not because he's honoured with a "Sorry, I was wrong" piece today by the Daily Mail's David Thomas. And not even because the Daily Telegraph dedicates its third leading article today to praising him.
No – he's the successor to Wogan because he's under attack from Chris Moyles. That, at least, is how the Mirror spins Moyles's complaint that his Radio 1 ratings are depressed by the exclusion of listeners under 15. Headline: "Moyles says kids love me, not Evans." Actual Moyles quote: "We're on 7.88m, but if you add on the 14, 13 and 12-year-olds, do you know what that figure is? It's nine million, over a million more. That is cos we're wicked and bad." He doesn't seem to have slighted Evans directly, then. But give them (and the papers) time.
