Doctor Who moving from Easter?

Now this has been speculated for a while now (especially with the later filming of the next series due to commence next week), but Digital Spy are now intimating that it is quite possible for Series Six to broadcast away from its "traditional" Easter(ish) spot. When asking Jay Hunt, head of BBC1, she said:
We're talking about what form Doctor Who will take. I think the interesting thing with having Steven running that show now is it will be very much a creative decision. He will decide what he thinks is right for the show.
Actually this doesn't tell us much at all!

Meanwhile Steven Moffat himself has commented about the heated licence fee discussions taking place at the moment (after BBC head Mark Thompson's lecture on it last night):
Are licence fee payers protesting hugely? No. They shouldn't, we give them lots of rubber green people in Doctor Who. Alien invasions are accomplished by at least three of them. Any cut in the licence fee and we'd have solo invasions. That'd be rubbish.
When's Day of the Daleks out on DVD, again?
