  BBC 6 Music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BBC 6 Music is one of the BBC's newest radio stations, launched on March 11, 2002 and originally codenamed Network Y.
The station plays "alternative" genres of music, including indie, classic rock, punk, jazz, funk and hip-hop, and generally provides an alternative to the more mainstream, chart orientated Radio 1 and Radio 2.
The station's presenters are generally regarded as experts in their musical field.

 BBC 6 Music as a learning resource [DJ Alchemi]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Born in the digital era, BBC 6 Music is a radio station at the intersection of traditional 'wireless' programming and less linear, on-demand access to audio and supporting material.
The 6 Music web site is gradually accumulating a set of artist profiles that collect together all the interviews the station records with them, plus related documentaries, web links and brief histories [update 5 December 02004: these profiles been removed in the recent redesign].
At the moment, 6 Music's profile of The Smiths and the general BBC profile of the same band each show a sublime indifference to the existence of the other — there are no links between them — and each provides a different set of exclusive resources related to the band.

 BBC News | REVIEWS | BBC 6 Music: Your views
The BBC successfully managed to ditch the "baby boomer" audience (30-45 year olds who are still fashion conscious and still go to rock concerts) when it revamped Radio 1 and we were swamped with happy- clappy, here today gone tomorrow drivel.This left a huge gap in the market which hopefully is now being addressed.
According to a BBC News article, "Interactivity will be a key element of 6 Music." But thus far, my emails have been ignored, I've yet to hear a single song request honoured, and the message boards are so heavily censored that it's impossible to even hold a conversation on them.
Almost all of the music stations are controlled by large broadcasting companies who accept payola from the record companies to fill their playlists with the same bland, 12-17 age group music.

Now 6 Music has begun a weekly podcast of speech highlights from its programmes as part of the BBC's download trial, so it seems a good time to review what's changed.
I presume 6 Music doesn't have the rights to include its documentaries — most of which are repeats of features commissioned elsewhere in the BBC — in the podcasts.
This gives their podcast less substance, in learning terms, than the equivalent offering from sister digital station BBC 1Xtra, which is offering full versions of its TX documentaries in its weekly podcast.
