So, if you close this world's important "maternity hospital" the world's music scenary will start to get old, boring and unimaginative.<br />About 2 weeks ago I was so glad about the fact that when I arrived the venue where i use to go with my friends I heard them talking about Midlake. The town where I live has 40.000 people and to realize that there were other people who were in love with the same non mainstream band that I am, was something magical, and this is something that is only possible thanks to the radios and people who do this wonderfull job of somehow making these bands be heard all over the world.<br /><br />I'm with you!Simãohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17537959088473878868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031984494878713847.post-72506011135795624402010-02-27T02:19:36.419-08:002010-02-27T02:19:36.419-08:006Music is the only reason for me to have a radio. ...6Music is the only reason for me to have a radio. <br /><br />Stuart Maconie's 'FreakZone' show - that show must be unique, nothing like that anywhere. Jarvis Cocker's new show is very good indeed. I could just list all the things I like about the station, but since that covers everything except G****e L**b, I won't.<br /><br />I suspect they're going to axe it anyway, regardless of facebook campaigns etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031984494878713847.post-54202767616031248332010-02-26T17:33:32.199-08:002010-02-26T17:33:32.199-08:00i do listen to nme radio, alot. and i aint whingei...i do listen to nme radio, alot. and i aint whingeing. and i've been to ibiza rocks. i think your post is incorrect, i would say 100% of the people posting messages, care alot...i have 6music on at home but of course i dont spend all day listening to it cos i work but that was not my point. my bands go in to 6 music every week and it's a great station that we should embrace not dismiss so inadequately...nme radio has improved out of all recognition and i hope it continues to do so, it has my support and should have a better audience than it does..bellaunionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955826164970172541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031984494878713847.post-10519534222623050532010-02-26T15:21:58.023-08:002010-02-26T15:21:58.023-08:00Well said...

I worry for independent music if this goes ahead, as it's another promotional stream for emerging musicians cut off in an increasingly difficult industry. 6Music's audience may be small, but it's vital to gaining exposure for up and coming artists.<br /><br />MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031984494878713847.post-47457434291510896902010-02-26T08:53:53.112-08:002010-02-26T08:53:53.112-08:00oh for gods sake - listen to nme radio and stop wh...oh for gods sake - listen to nme radio and stop whinging<br /><br />i bet 90% of the people moaning dont actually listen in the first placeadeibizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371037604800080564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031984494878713847.post-57423103590155056242010-02-26T08:16:18.591-08:002010-02-26T08:16:18.591-08:006Music's audience may be (relatively) small bu...6Music's audience may be (relatively) small but I wouldn't underestimate its passion, strength and eloquence.

British radio is amazing and it's because of the BBC. They should treasure their heritage and the support they have. Sometime soon there is going to be a crunch at the BBC and people will want to save it because the radio is part of their lives- not because they really enjoyed the last season of Mad Men (though I did and do). <br /><br />I don't really know about costs but in the grand scheme of things I don't think the savings on 6 will make a great difference compared to the effect it will have on new music and also those who have come to love this station.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031984494878713847.post-45640151842126681052010-02-26T03:31:10.638-08:002010-02-26T03:31:10.638-08:00Absolutely agree.

I hope there are enough people who feel the same way and are willing to act/petition/complain to save 6music, and the campaign is co-ordinated in such a way to make a difference and show the depth of feeling.analog nostalgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326763551165015728noreply@blogger.com
