I still say it's rubbish*. Who has most to gain by inflating fear and anger with the BBC by suggesting that two services (6Music and the Asian Network) with fairly small but fervant fans be closed, thus helping to destroy confidence in the BBC? That'll be right, Rupert Murdoch, who's made it a personal mission to destroy the BBC.  
 
Where does this story originate? The Times.  
 
Who owns The Times? Rupert Murdoch.  
 
I suggest that this story has been written on the back of the recent BBC report saying that 6Music needs to up its act a bit (as only 20% of adults knew about it). It can't be proved, as there's nothing on paper anywhere about it - there's no actual evidence cited in the story - and if it turns out to be false (as it most likely will), the paper can just say that the BBC has made a U-turn - possibly due to their exposé...  
 
To quote "Not The Nine O'Clock News"; "I would willingly sell my house and all its contents to help the BBC" :-) 
 
* I could be wrong - if I am, does anyone want to buy a DAB Radio]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[A.R.S.E. limps into 2009&hellip;]]></title><link>http://www.hyperactive-stage.co.uk/blog/blog_home.asp</link><description><![CDATA[&hellip;by finally including a Twitter feed&hellip; 
 
Huzzah!]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books, games, figures etc]]></title><link>http://www.hyperactive-stage.co.uk/blog/blog_home.asp</link><description><![CDATA[Hi all (if anyone still reads this - I realise it's been a while!). 
 
Just a quick note to publicise a website I've helped set up.  <a href="http://www.celestial-gb.com" target="_blank" title="Opens in a new window">Celestial Games and Books</a>.  It's a company owned by an old friend of mine, selling games (wargames, r&ocirc;leplaying games, family games, card game - pretty much whatever you can think of), science fiction and fantasy novels, miniatures, dice etc etc... 
 
So - take a look, and if you can't find what you're after, drop them an email or give them a ring - I'm pretty sure they'll be able to source it for you.]]></description></item></rss>
