In which case he was paid at the end of July, not in August and September isnt over yet so he's probably blowing it out of proportion. I'm not going to sympathise with him purely out of principle when, in all honesty, this probably wont have a detrimental effect on his finances at all. If it was a working man sturggling to pay the bills then I would have all the sympathy in the world but when he has plenty of money to survive without, then the "prinicple" is not as much of a concern. He should remember how lucky he is to be so well-off before making such an issue of this.
And regardless of whether he thinks he has been unfairly treated, he has no right to go off on one live on air. The listeners dont want to hear that, and I doubt very much that most of them give a damn over the minor woes of that tit.

It is completely and utterly irrelevant how much he is paid or what effect it is going to have on his finances. It's all about respect and principle. There is no respect in not paying one of your employees for two months work. No respect whatsoever. Whether it was a toilet cleaner or a football player, I would say the same thing. No respect whatsoever.
As he said on-air, if he suddenly decided to stop working because 'he couldn't be bothered', do you think the bosses would be 'bothered' enough to pay him? No. No they wouldn't. So why should he be 'bothered' to turn up and work for two months when they're not 'bothered' enough to pay him for those two months work?
I think it says a lot about his love for his job about how this has not yet been mentioned or he has not yet refused to turn up. I very much doubt a lot of other people would continue working after a month of no pay, let alone two months or more.
And what are you on about with 'the listeners don't want to hear that'? What planet are you on? Do you realise the show is called 'The
Chris Moyles Show', so naturally the show is going to be primarily about him, his life, his job, the show in general, and other minor things? If people didn't want to hear that then you'd expect them not to listen. Of course, there are a few dim *****s that listen so that they can vent some more of their hatred for the man and jump at any opportunity they can get to condemn him. It's laughable stuff.
And at 06:30 - it is entertaining radio [at least in my eyes]. A man ranting about his pay and showing his management up to be completely incompetent is highly amusing and entertaining. Far, far better than listening to some average 'hi welcome along to the show...this is Lady Gaga. Then next we'll play some Lily Allen, followed by five minutes of repetitive adverts and then five more songs' so-called 'DJ' on an average station like Galaxy.

How much does that have to do with this? He's hardly destitute and should take it up with the bosses off air.

For the love of God, are you another one of those that does not read things and just jumps to conclusion out of hatred for the man?
I have already said he took it up with the bosses off-air. The article also said the same. And so did Chris himself on-air. Read and listen.
Yes he has split up with his girlfriend, hence why this probably isn't helping matters. As he said on-air, he 'really doesn't need this right now'. And it is true. Why should he be denied pay for two months after working for those two months? It is all about respect and principle.
