BBC 6Music has won a reprieve from the BBC Trust, after the broadcaster’s governing body said it had failed to make a case for the radio station’s closure say the FT.
The trust received tens of thousands of expressions of support from the public for the specialist music station since March’s BBC-wide strategic review proposed axing it.
Any plans to close 6 Music will only be considered after the BBC executive creates a “wider digital radio strategy”, which the trust’s chairman, Sir Michael Lyons, said was difficult given the “lack of clarity” on when the analogue radio signal will be switched off.
Where else do you get to hear this stuff?
