Recent rumblings coming from White City regarding budget cuts and the scrapping of the BBC 6 Music channel have led to public protest's on Twitter and Facebook respectively. Since the news leaked and the public outrage became clear, Shadow Culture Minister Ed Vaizey, who had previously welcomed the news, has backtracked in spectacular fashion and now claims he is an 'avid listener' of 6 Music.
The channel, which is currently only available on digital radio, covers a broad spectrum of genre, concentrating on esoteric music with shows by ex-music scribes such as Stuart Maconie, Yorkshire Drip Jarvis Cocker and ex-Fall and radio 1 man Marc Riley attracting a large following of articulate and passionate music fans.
Tally Ho! loves the channel and urges anyone who's ever listened to Lamacq whilst cooking something lovely in the kitchen, or awoken of a Saturday to hear Adam & Jo's familiar banter bumbling out the speakers, to register their support at the following link...
