* It's all my fault. It's exactly the sort of programming I ought to have listened to, but somehow I never did.*

No I didn't listen either Hamish

I also agree that digital radio is not the easiest format to listen to, unless you want to carry your TV around with you. As for the internet, it has a host of great music programmes from far and wide so why do you need digital? In fact the only benefit I can see coming from digital broadcasting is to encourage people to spend more money on gadgets and build up the profits of multinational companies.

Getting back to the demise of Radio 6, I'm sure that any programmes worth their salt will find an alternative station to broadcast on, or maybe someone will just take over Radio 6 and bung adverts on it.
