Thompson's acting like Murdoch, sorry, Cameron, is already in power - 'see, we're beating ourselves up, you don't have to'.
6Music gives us new and live music 24/7/365 for about a quarter of the price of Eastenders, and less than Graham Norton and Jonathan Ross. I think the price is comparable to one of the new Portland Stone vending machines in the revamped Broadcasting House. Are any commercial radio stations threatened or compromised by 6Music or the Asian Network? Are they heckers. In fact, they won't even need to consider comparable programming to compete with the BBC. That's 2 big constituencies that won't be catered for at all.
I'm hoping it's a really clever double bluff, the publicity will boost the threatened stations, the public will get back behind the Beeb, and the results of the public consultation will mean the Trust won't axe them.
