Save 6 Music - http://www.petition.fm/petitions/6musicasiannet/1000/

Guys, BBC 6Music is one of the all-time greats.  This digital radio station with fantastic programming and an amazing line-up of DJs, both celebrated and unknown, fostering the growth of burgeoning artists and keeping sacred the history of modern music, is now being threatened with extinction.  The BBC bosses say that  with only 700,000 of us listening to it, 6Music is grabbing money from what could be better programming for both TV and radio.  But they're at split purposes here because the low listenership is due precisely to the lack of mainstream on show on 6Music.  Meanwhile back at the ranch, BBC 3, a totally mainstream, youth-angled station with very little (if any) originality seems nice and cruisey simply because they are more visible and more people know about it.

We have a chance to try to do something about this.  Please sign this petition to let the BBC know how important 6 Music is to the future and history of music. http://www.petition.fm/petitions/6musicasiannet/1000/
