Gutted.

I've listened to 6 Music since day 1; and won a Weezer album on the Phil Jupitus breakfast show during the early days.

[Incy]

With you there Zazen. We only ever listen to 6 music. Wonder what OH will do without it

[Glutton4...]

I've never listened to 6 Music - what sort of stuff did it play?

Everything....from led zep to northern soul to buff medway's to duffy to.....just everything.

only place you would get AC-DC played two songs after Leonard Cohen.

Proper music G4, proper music.

Cryin' shame!

[Glutton4...]

Sorry I'm an Absolute (was Virgin) fan, music-wise, except the ads drive me potty.

I mostly listen to CDs but when I fancy a change and a bit of randomness it was always '6'.
As well as the perfect music choices they seem to be one of the few stations to have got the chat/music ratio right....unlike R1 that seem to think it's all about chat and throw the odd song in so they can catch their breath.

Corrected there for you Di.

OK, found it - got it on in the background, out of curiosity. Is there a FB campaign or anything started yet?

Yep - though it looks to have been in vain.

LOL Zaz - last time I was subjected to R1, I thought my ears were going to be sick!

[Glutton4...]

Sorry peeps - it's not sounding good. About four songs in, and I'm heading towards looking for a wrist-shaped sharp knife!

Gimme some proper Rock!

Switch to Radio 1 and see if you last four songs...

That should take about an hour to wrestle 4 songs in....

What did they play G4 - I can't listen today as I'm in floods?

Apparently they are axing it because it has a small audience [which isn't a surprise as it is digital only], but if they built it up it would take listeners away from commercial [which is the real reason they have cut it]. Can't have all those middle aged music fans not being subjected to commercial radio with all their adverts, eh? After all, those middle aged listeners have the most disposable income and we must have them spending mustn't we?

I definitely wouldn't last that long, and If I did, I'd be wanting to commit murder! LOL

I'm not having a dig. I find music a very personal thing, as I'm sure you do. If we all had the same taste, life would be boring wouldn't it?
