I actually really like the midweek placings, less clashes with my 
social life, and makes something to look forward to in the middle of 
the week.

I hope this is not an attempt to start pushing John out.  It had 
seemed that the move to 10pm (or was it actually 9pm, later moving 
to 10pm when bloody Chris Moyles joined, to make space for his ego) 
midweek was Radio 1 pulling him in.  (This seemed to be confirmed 
at the time with him doing a stint covering for Jo Whiley).  The 
previous weekend slot at the time seemed to me to be setting the way 
for his retirement. This was a time, if my memory serves me right, 
when the weekend was for bringing in new DJs, and semi-retiring 
older ones.

It's easy to put the minority music on very late at night, but I 
can't see Andy Parfitt being brave enough to "shake up the 
schedules" enough to compete with the daytime programmes.
