can you believe they're thinking about dumping it? outrageous... the bosses at the bbc really are idiots.

i easily listen to more 6 music than i listen or watch any other bbc product during a week... stop spending money on idiot blue peter presenters* canoeing down the amazon for 40 says for a 45min programme and start spending the licence payers money where it's needed...



* who reminds me of my ex and to be fair actually seems quite nice.

so what's your sense of their reasoning or ulterior motivations?

i have no idea... it's their best radio station imo and certainly one of their most popular. if they want to save money they should get rid of the sack of crap that is radio 1... move zane lowe over to 6 music and listo, real music fans are happy.

i don't believe those stats. there was about 25,000 letters of complaint when the bbc announced they were thinking of scrapping it... assuming they were all from listeners and that (assuming again) usually only a fraction of people make complaint letters when annoyed by something on tv/radio. either way the 6 music listener has always been loyal to the station and the bbc would be foolish to upset so many people imo.

it's because of "the unique way the bbc is funded"!

Sometimes it's fun to watch how the bbc report a story compared to itv or sky - but that's another debate...

Just google 'bbc bias' for near unlimited commentaries about the bbc.

I'm not pro or anti bbc. ITV and Sky will just be dancing to another pipers tune.
