Why does Six Music even have news? It's not 1997, I have access to news anytime I want it.
See also national traffic updates on the radio, surely they've dropped that. Bad tail back near Birmingham? Fascinating, but people know about that if they are planning a journey in the area.

Just to be clear, do you mean they were promoting FTTC rather than FTTP at the point when it was already apparent FTTP was the way to go?

I'm just advocating for this model that already exists. BBC branded, far right not advertising on Brownie recipes as far as I can see.

Sure, and to protect it you need to modernise.
Tough day to be arguing it's fit for purpose the day after top people have resigned off the back of a right wing campaign.

Just do it through BBC Studios.
But if not possible, shows the modern world has passed it by and it's not fit for purpose.

It all feels like a bit of a strawman. Let's start with the house prices to earnings ratio.
