 >RADIO 1 TO REJIG EVENINGS
 >There is some speculation this morning as to what will happen to Radio 1's
 >specialist show line up following the news Andy Parfitt is planning a
 >'shake-up' to the station's evening schedules.
 >
 >Speaking to the Independent about his plans for an evening schedule revamp,
 >Parfitt was suitably vague about what that meant for flagship specialist
 >presenters like Pete Tong, Tim Westwood, Gilles Peterson, Judge Jules, Seb
 >Fontaine, Steve Lamacq and John Peel.
 >
 >Parfitt: "All of those shows appeal to particular musical communities, I'm
 >really pleased that they have credibility within these specific communities,
 >but I think the job of Radio 1 - given that we are a national broadcaster -
 >is that we can't just preach to the converted. What I'm talking about is
 >trying to arrange the universe of Radio 1 specialists in such a way that it
 >matches people's lifestyles and moods. Frankly, there will always be some
 >compromises because there are a limited number of slots and everyone would
 >like more time."
 >
 >At least three of the station's night time presenters are expected to be
 >'affected' - whether that means the axe is unclear. In fact the only clear
 >thing about the revamp at the moment is that Zane Lowe is safe - word is his
 >time slot is about to he doubled.
