The BBC's head of audio and music Tim Davie has said 6 Music will not be rebranded as Radio 2 Extra, quashing speculation that it might be revamped rather than shut down as part of the corporation's strategic review. Writing on his BBC blog, Davie said there were "no plans" to rebrand the station, which has been earmarked for closure in a review ordered by the BBC Trust. A consultation is under way and the trust is due to report is final findings late next month. Davie has previously talked about salvaging some of 6 Music's programmes and content by moving it to other parts of the BBC's radio network. He said that remained likely. "I said we would look at protecting some 6 Music programming by redeploying it elsewhere and considering how we can also do justice to its legacy in areas like new music development. This commitment also remains...... But simply rebranding 6 Music as Radio 2 Extra is not one of our plans." Davie has also confirmed that Radio 7 will become a sister channel to Radio 4, prompting reports that a smilar arrangement could be applied at Radio 6. Davie reiterated: "While we have proposed rebranding Radio 7 as Radio 4 Extra, there are no such plans for 6 Music." http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/apr/14/6-music-tim-davie
