When did our working hours go up?

The last I remember, the typical Morning Show used to be a 7-11 am show.
Then Red started playing links from the previous day and calling them Best of Morning No.1 or something like that and you could listen to Mallishka from 6 to 11. In fact they included that time into the promo too.
Now Archana Jaani is also available with a Best Of version early in the morning.
Though this idea is highly debatable - who wants to listen to Shendi @ 6am and that kind of content early in the morning? But then Red is a 24/7 format station. They play Munni and Sheila @ 6 am - so lets just let them be.
Then Big began "Astro Hour" at 6 - followed by Radio One - exactly the same idea.
So now all promos shout out - Morning Show 6 to 11 am!

Do we really want the tune in time to be 6am? And has anyone realized its 5 hours?!?! God help Breakfast show hosts. Except Mallishka though - coz her show made us all wake up earlier, but now she does not appear on her show before 8 am! So I guess the joke's on us! :)
