Save BBC 6 Music And Asian Network Campaign
EDM number 963 in 2009-10, proposed by Tom Watson on 01/03/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Asia, Broadcasting and Ethnic groups.
That this House notes with deep concern recent newspaper speculation that the BBC is considering closing its 6 Music and Asian Network radio stations; believes that both radio stations offer outlets for independent and non-mainstream music; further notes that both 6 Music and Asian Network reach out to audiences not otherwise well served by the BBC; congratulates 6 Music and Asian Network for acting as a source of talent for the BBC and other media; recognises that the BBC has a duty to represent and give a platform to minority interests that need a mainstream platform to develop and grow; and calls on the Government to encourage the BBC to continue its support for 6 Music and Asian Network for many years to come.
This motion has been signed by a total of 111 MPs.
