I’m not sure that entirely true. I do agree it’s become crap though.
Luckily though the sounds app I can listen to those broadcasters I like. I won’t have 6 on live, the times I listen to the radio are when the very worst presenters are on. Weekdays daytime and evening, it is puerile then. It angers me that I campaigned to save it when it was threatened with the axe.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Why did 6music used to mean so much to me and so little now? Is it because I’m getting old and stuck in my ways? Then I realised, no, it’s the polar opposite. 6 has done the thing of ageing with its demographic, instead of leaving behind those who wanted the get off the ride, it’s now catering to them. It’s now aimed squarely at the same individuals who were 20-something and craving new stuff 20 years ago, who are now 40-something with kids and a dog and a roast in the oven who want to hear shite from 20 years ago.
It’s become R2 for middle class white people who used to take drugs. Fuck it.
