The BBC finally caved and backed down from this ridiculous plan to gut our music schedule. It is a massive victory for every listener who refused to let these suits silence our culture. Stay ready because we have proven that the network only listens when we force them to.

A page deicated to stopping the BBC from removing Judge Jules, Gilles Peterson, Kissy Sell Out, Fabio & Grooverider and rescheduling Kutski The BBC announced today that they are removing not one but FIVE major pioneers of dance music to make way for more urban music. The DJs in the cull are Judge Jules, Gilles Peterson, Kissy Sell Out, Fabio & Grooverider and to add insult to injury they are relcoating hard dance supremo Kutski to a tri weekly slot on a thursday night. These world renown jocks play the most upfront and cutting edge sound in their retrospective scenes, they support music from the biggest acts around the world and like the late great John Peel also massively support up and coming talent getting their music played across the globe, their shows are current, relevant, fair and informative, they play at the most high profile and influential gigs around. If it was not for these radio shows people would not have the access to hearing some the newest music around. How is removing artists of this caliber and we quote Ben Cooper, Controller of Radio 1, "It’s important that Radio 1 continues to develop new talent and the station keeps evolving for our young listeners. These changes to our evening schedule will strengthen the range and depth of the specialist music offering on the network." going to do anything for this cause. This petition is dedicated to making the BBC listen to the very people who pay the licence fees and keep Radio One on air, Trance / Hardcore / Gabba / Hardstyle MUST stay were it belongs Friday nights, and Fabio & Groverider must STAY. We also suggest Sending an email to the following two addresses to voice your Complaint/opinion/suggestion/comment: Firstly to Trust they are the governing body of the BBC [email protected] CC in Radio One [email protected]


Please feel free to leave a comment but keep it clean or the BBC wont take us seriously.

The BBC bosses might think they can ignore us but the massive surge in momentum says otherwise. They want to bury our culture for their own bureaucratic agenda and I am not letting that happen.

Radio 1 is going downhill fast. These guys are the only reason I even turn the dial anymore. Bring them back!

WHY ARE YOU GETTING RID OF FABIO AND GROOVERIDER?! They have been part of the station for years. This makes me so mad.
