The BBC wants to close down 6Music. This would be a tragedy for real music lovers. The proposal is now in the hands of the BBC Trust. They can be emailed at trust.enquiries@bbc.co.uk. Below is the text of my email:
To whom it may concern, I am emailing to request that the move to close BBC 6music be stopped - this station provides an invaluable service covering a range of music that the commercial sector would not. It is in the very best tradition of BBC Music broadcasting, inheriting the mantle of John Peel for example and providing a platform for quality music over and against the mainstream "lowest common denominator" of the chart-focused Radio 1 and "classic pop" of Radio 2. You will find you are being inundated with similar requests at the moment, please take them - and us the listening public - seriously and save 6 music. Kind regards James Ogley
