BBC 6 music caters for people who have grown disheartened with the state of radio - both commercial and mainstream BBC. Whilst it may only have a small audience, it is an audience that appreciates the varied and exploratory nature of its output; an audience that will only continue to grow as digital radio becomes more widely adopted. We, the undersigned, believe that to close the station would be a travesty – and that depriving many hundreds of thousands of people of (often) their only radio station is a frightening example of the BBC neglecting to fulfill its public service remit, especially after (for example) the BBC Trust spent £3m on a new headquarters.
