yes, excellent news. To be honest I think this is for the best on 
many counts. if they ran it on R1 they'd do so out of the Colin 
Murray slot and that would ruin the chart as far as my tastes are 
concerned - the changed listenership (e.g. does anyone on this list 
tune in?) would vote in Oasis and the Zutons and quite possibly 
Daniel O'Donnell, all at odds with the legacy of great undiscovered 
music that the chart is famous for.
We can rely on the Dandelion people to keep it Peel, I reckon!
