BBC to close 6 Music and Asian Network
p2pnet view Radio:- The BBC is planning to axe digital radio stations 6 Music and Asian Network.
As part of “wide-ranging cuts”, half of the sections on the BBC website will be pulled “as the corporation reduces online spending by a quarter, and the budget for US imports will be reduced by 20%”, says Sky News.
BBC Switch and BBC Blast, both multimedia outputs aimed at teenagers, are also facing the chop,says the story, adding:
“The drastic changes were outlined by BBC director general Mark Thompson as he presented the Putting Quality First review to staff ahead of a 12-week consultation period.”
