Hello! I could probably edit the page in question myself, but I'm not quite sure how you do these things, so I'm putting the info here.

After a conversation with Eddie, a devoted listener to Peel's BFBS shows and a regular correspondent (Peel often referred to Eddie's letters and postcards), the following items should be added to the BFBS page (http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/BFBS):

1. The original title of Peel's BFBS show was indeed "Rock Today".

2. The signature tune was "Interstellar Overdrive" by Pink Floyd.

3. The original shows ran for an hour.

4. In January 1980, the show became a two-hour show. That's when the name was changed to "John Peel's Music".

5. Peel also changed the signature tune at this point and used "Socialist" by PiL before switching to what the page calls "an unidentified electronic dance piece". (Actually, I think it's a hip hop track with a lot of scratching.)

Hope this is of help.
