Radio 1 have just revamped their schedule to a) give consistent 3 hour 
slots for daytime, and b) promote the specialist shows to starting at 
7pm. I see no reason [1] why Parfitt would wish to go back on that so 
soon. Zane Lowe was certainly adding listeners in his old 8-10 slot, and 
I see no reason why that shouldn't be the case at 7-9 either. As for the 
11-1 slot, they have two options, either they bring in a 'replacement' 
such as Lamacq, AN Other or even Mary Anne HobbGoblin or they promote 
the 1am shows (Rock Show (which would mean 4 hours for Mike Davies), 
Trevor Nelson, Annie Nightingale respectively) and stick something new 
at 1am, or they share the extra 2 hours out between Zane, the 9pms and 
the 1ams.

[1] The only slight hiccup is the possible return of Sara Cox, hopefully 
though they will either ask her to leave or give her a weekend slot.
