BBC6 Music - is it worth saving?
As a middle-aged, alternative, indie kinda guy (and the witty sort of person who uses the expression "kinda guy" in an ironic sort of way - a kinda guy kinda guy, if you will) BBC6 Music should be right up my street, and sure enough I felt sad when I heard about its probable deletion from the schedules. But I hadn't listened to it for some time, and before rushing to the barricades I thought I ought to find out exactly what I was defending. When I did, and I actually managed to find some music (because the first two attempts yielded an interview with Sir Geoff Hurst and another rather patronising interview with an elderly woman who runs a postal museum in Bath), it was very ordinary. It may seem like heresy, but is BBC6 Music really the national treasure its supporters make it out to be?
