BBC Cuts - Save BBC6 Music

[Sheridan Passell]

Nah, I'm not bothered either, but check out Paxman grilling the head of the BBC. You can hear the cameraman laughing at the end -

That is funny. But 6 Music...what is even distinct about it at all? BBC Four and 1Extra have distinct audiences...I can't tell if Paxman was being Devil's Advocate or if that was his opinion...

He usually plays Devil's Advocate. I don't know the point of 6 Music, it could all be added to 1 and 2 as far I can see.  I love how his main justification for BBC 4 is the Proms. Like that deserves a whole channel.

My two favourite radio shows are on BBC6 music; Guy Garvey's finest hour and Bruce Dickinson's Rock Show. In fact they are the only radio shows I actually consciously put on. They are both just all about the music, no bullshit banter with a co-host and Guy Garvey's in particular is great for discovering new stuff.
Maybe they will get transferred to a different station, if not, ta ta radio for me.

I only listen to BBC Five Live.
