==At the BBC==
Boyle spent more than 25 years at the BBC, including four years as head of BBC Radio Scotland and four years as controller of BBC Radio 4.〔 At Radio Scotland he oversaw sweeping changes to the station's programming line-up. Some of those changes generated a mixed mailbag from listeners. However, after the revamp the station was named UK Radio Station of the Year at the broadcasting industry's Sony Awards.〔()〕
In 1996 Boyle was appointed to head BBC Radio Four, perhaps the UK's premier radio station. Boyle overhauled almost the entire schedule.〔(New image for BBC Radio 4 ), ''BBC News'', 7 April 1998. Accessed 9 October 2008.〕 Critics outside and inside the BBC questioned the number of changes, and their timing, and he was nicknamed "MacBirt", in reference to his being a Scottish version of BBC Director-General Lord Birt.〔()〕 Nonetheless, many of the new shows received critical acclaim, including John Peel's Home Truths, arts programme Front Row, and current affairs show Broadcasting House.〔()〕 The new programmes subsequently won a record 6 gold Sony awards in one year and eight other silver and bronze awards.〔 Boyle announced his departure from Radio Four in 2000, leading The Observer newspaper to run the headline: “He Came, He Conquered, He Quit.”〔(Boyle steps down at Radio 4 ), ''BBC News'', 16 January 2000. Accessed 9 October 2008.〕 Just after Boyle left, Radio Four, like Radio Scotland before it, was named Radio Station of the Year at the Sony Awards.〔Taylor, Alan. (no way to make waves ), ''The Sunday Herald'', 11 May 2003. Accessed 9 October 2008.〕
