We were really disappointed to learn of the BBC's decision to close 6 Music. The station is a wonderful place to hear new and alternative music - music which simply doesn't get played elsewhere on UK national radio. It is also staffed by some of our most knowledgeable and entertaining DJs, who've helped break and develop many acts, including Keane. If the station does close, it would be a huge blow to the British music scene.
But there is something we can do. The BBC Trust will have to approve 6 Music's closure and have indicated they may not do so, if enough people show their support for the station. If you agree that 6 Music should be saved then please do any or all of the following:
- Email your thoughts to trust.enquiries@bbc.co.uk
- Complete the Trust's BBC Strategy Review Online Survey
- Sign the petition
- Join the Save BBC 6 Music Facebook group
Thank you.
Keane

sorry to hear bout 6 shame such an influential station top dogs need to think again
@guineagirl You could try ontour@keanemusic.com...
So, if they are closing it up, will it Ever be replaced by something comparable?! Or, better Yet...can it Ever be Reinstated--in its original format, or a newer one?!?!?! hmmmm?
Hello - I am part of the team trying to organise a protest to save 6 Music (from the Facebook group) - would love to contact Keane to see if they are interested in supporting the event or even turning up to perform. Does anyone know how the band or their management can be contacted?
Pfff, tout se perd, good stations, honey, cats well bred...etc...

Already sign it,but I've spoken with my dad, and with my godfather Richard B, to tried to convince them that buy the station or do anything about it.....To think about all these people that can lose his works- Let's cross fingers xoxo
Cari Keane, io ho già firmato la petizione, speriamo bene, la Bbc è importantissima per voi inglesi , è come se da noi in Italia chiudessero la Rai ! Vi auguro con tutto il cuore che questa emittente possa continuare a trasmettere regolarmente, un salutone da Sabrina from Catania, Sicilia!

Hello. Very sorry to hear that a radio station I learnt about recently, is being closed... Oh why? Don't know if it can make a difference, but I did what I could, sent an email with the thoughts of defence and maintenance of this radio station. Thank you very much for all the information. Without Keane, I think, I not only would not have discovered the wonderful music that I love so much, but also would not have known many things I am able to know now, thanks to you. Thank you very much, with all my heart.
HELOISA, ISA FROM BRASIL, SAO PAULO ********* I liked much the new colours of this website, indeed. Well, beautiful colours and bad news, I do not want BBC 6 comes to an endIing, so, I will sign the petition. LOTS OF LOVE TO MY FAVOURITE BAND! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
signed sealed and delivered. :)
Make that a £172m overspend. It's my birthday too and my typing is becoming unreliable.
Number Crunching from the latest Private Eye: £7m= total content spend last year on BBC 6 Music. £21m= salary bill of top 100 executives. £171m= overspend on building projects. Hmmm.
C"est vraiment injuste ! je partage votre déception
happy birthday!!! sorry about 6 music getting closed...
There's another online petition to save 6 music. Here's the link : http://www.petition.fm/petitions/6musicasiannet/1000/
ITS MY BIRTHDAY ^^ !!!! and i don't want 6 music close !! =(
I have just signed the petition x
Another example of the world´s progress. So sad to notice money rules the world. Kss from Madrid
I received the news from a french website yesterday (http://www.telerama.fr/radio/coupes-budgetaires-a-la-bbc-what-does-it -mean-exactly,53132.php). Joined the facebook group and signed the petition.
I've also shared the link to the facebook group and the link to the petition in my facebook profile. Hope that helps. Mariexx
Just sent my signature from America. Hope it helps make a difference....Rock on!....Sherry W., Michigan, USA.
Thanks you KM for highlighting the 6music plight. It's such a great station and I'd hate to see it go, plus Adam and Joe have THE funniest podcast I've ever heard. Save 6music.
Many thanks for supporting this. 6Music was the first place that I heard Keane, so it's very fitting that the band should now support the station that helped them break through.
The petition is signed. Hope they won't close it... That would be a shame ! Hope we'll be able to listen to Clear Skies next week tho ! Mariexxx
Signed the petition and joined the Facebook group (: xxx
THX ROCK ON !!! XXX
OMG!
as yet i haven't seen/ heard anything from anyone not liking 6 music! Seems like a pretty decent radio station if you ask me!
