Various reports are flying around at the moment that 6Music HAS been saved from closure... at least temporarily.

Also I just saw a tweet from a local DJ here http://twitter.com/FrancesFinnShow/statuses/17780711415 and also another from the station's own Lauren Laverne http://twitter.com/laverneshow/statuses/17780577723

It seems there have been reports and conjecture for a few days, but something from BBC Radio employees must be more substantive than most sources.

Professional eater of puppy dogs, baby heads and killer of grannies...

Asian Network still could be closed (but the BBC must find other ways of reaching the audience lost there) - BBC Blast to be closed too - BBC Switch is a decision that lies with the BBC, not the BBC Trust: "The Trust’s approval for the closure of Switch is not anticipated to be needed, as this is not a BBC service but a branded zone of programming.".

I like listening to Nemone and Steve Lamacq from time to time too for a bit of Radio 1 nostalgia. Half of Mark and Lard are over there too.

It's a real shame about the BBC Asian Network though.

And making Radio 1 "more distinctive" compared to local radio? I'm pretty sure that task is fulfilled.

Not if they carry on doing crap like that "You become the DJ" on the request show. That oozes local radio.
