But the reason they're giving isn't that it's not popular enough, it's that the 'demographic' that allegedly listens to 6music is the one commercial radio is aimed at. Clearly that is some weak ass thinking.
Yes, fair point, but the reasoning doesn't ring true, which is why I didn't mention it. There is CLEARLY no more thought gone into this than "we need to cut two stations; which stations have the lowest listening numbers?". If they were truly interested in serving demographics they would get rid of the local radio stations (which obviously have exactly the same target demographic as Radio 1 and Radio 2) and simply include local news & traffic on R1/R2.
