Reasons for proposed closure of Radio station 6Music
Jonathan Rhind made this Freedom of Information request to British Broadcasting Corporation
The request was successful.
From: Jonathan Rhind
8 March 2010
I am seeking information on the proposed BBC cuts in service. I
believe there is to be a public document that will explain the
BBC's cost cutting proposals. Unfortunately I was unable to find
this from the BBC web site. In the absence of such a document I am
seeking from the BBC an explanation, with supporting evidence, for
the proposed shut down of the 6Music radio station. I am interested
in what were the deciding factors and against which measures these
were made?
I am especially interested in the BBC's view on the role of
following factors in the decision:
- Whether commercial competition was a factor and if so, how it
influenced the decision,
- Current, trend and projected listener numbers of BBC tv and radio
stations standardised against for the limited availability of
digital radio services
- Cost benefits assessment of the decision. Please provide the
actual business case that led to the proposal for cutting 6Music.
- The relative importance the BBC assigns to the various genres of
programming on radio and why.
If this information is available elsewhere on the Internet as a
single source and in full I am content to pointed to it.
Yours faithfully,
Jonathan Rhind
