Career

Moyle is a graduate in English and the History of Art from St John's College, Cambridge. Her career in broadcasting began in the late 1990s where she worked predominantly in leisure programming. As the editor of magazine programme Home Front, she successfully transferred the show from a half-hour format into an hour-long strand. Following this success, she was promoted to the position of Executive Editor for Leisure Programmes at the BBC, handling production through television centre and BBC Birmingham.

Between June 2000 and April 2005, Moyle transferred to arts programming and acted variously as Creative Director for the BBC's arts department and as Commissioner for Creative Arts and Culture across the corporation's main four channels. In 2008, she left a permanent role at the BBC to work as a freelance for her own projects. She continues to work as a Director of the Hackney Empire near her home in East London.

She is married to the television director and writer Richard Curson and has three children.
