I've been taking a break. The Peel slot was always my 'slot' of 
choice for late-night listening, even though the likes of Mark 
Radcliffe and Jim Gellatly (on Beat 106) also found themselves in 
that time, thanks to unenlightened programmers. Their shows were less 
appealing tome  than Peel's, but more so than at least one of the 
new-Iook Radio One shows. Plus, I also have a brand new digital radio 
courtesy of the missus at Xmas, so my choice is even greater. I will 
probably give all 3 programmes a chance over the next wee while, but 
I feel no 'loyalty' to Radio One, indeed I always swore that I would 
finish with the station if they sacked Peel (which they'd seemed to 
be on the brink of many times over the years).
