Rajars: Chris Moyles's BBC Radio 1 breakfast show has lost listeners for the second consecutive quarter, according to the Q3 Rajar figures.

Moyles drew 7.02million listeners a week from June 23 to September 14 while his BBC Radio 2 rival Sir Terry Wogan pulled in 724,000 more listeners.

Wogan remains the king of the breakfast shows, with 7.74 million listeners.

Moyles's numbers are down 190,000 from the 7.21 million fans he enjoyed in the previous quarter.

In the three months to June 27, his ratings also fell by 500,000 from a record 7.72 million.

But Moyles has made up for that by adding 40,000 more listeners year-on-year, when he pulled in 6.98million.

Radio 1 as a whole has 10.87 million listeners, up 290,000 year-on-year and 190,000 from the previous quarter.

Overall, Radio 2 has 13.06 million listeners, up 63,000 quarter-on-quarter, and rising 48,000 year-on-year.
