Re: 6Music. BBC Trust says "the case has not been made for the closure", apparently.
"The Trust concludes that, as things stand, the case has not been made for the closure of 6 Music. The Executive should draw up an overarching strategy for digital radio. If the Director General wanted to propose a different shape for the BBC’s music radio stations as part of a new strategy, the Trust would consider it. The Trust would consider a formal proposal for the closure of the Asian Network, although this must include a proposition for meeting the needs of the station’s audience in different ways."
Which doesn't mean that 6 music won't be watered down and morphed into some kind of undesirable Radio 2xtra.
Glad to hear it's not going to be shut down as planned, but some scepticism should remain in place until we know more details about what the BBC has in store for the station.
