Mills was given the opportunity to host a week’s worth of programs, and after doing so well, he was instantly granted the ‘graveyard slot,’ which runs from 1:00 am to 6:00 am (six nights a week), making him the youngest permanent presenter on major commercial radio. Mills was later shifted to the ‘drive time’ position in the late afternoon.
