Wonder why this odd change of plan. This post has been edited by zenon: Nov 1 2019, 02:31 PM

Perhaps it was just a miscommunication? I think the chart works quite well as 1.45 and agree, Party Anthems is a great show.

It feels a bit rushed fitting it into 1 hour 45 minutes, but I don't think it needs to be extended to the full three hours either. I know that's difficult to do though when the news is a requirement. I think the extra hour might have been a similar idea to the short-lived Number One Show on Sunday evenings in 2015-16?
