So, 234 comments about Tim Davies's proposals to close 6 & Asian Network and no response.

Perhaps that's a good thing, because any response would be along the corporate lines of "aggregating content and refencing brands" we've come to expect from a ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ board better connected with corporate life than cultural life.

This morning, The Observer, Britain's only quality Sunday newspaper left (due I would add to the individuals central to the current pressure on the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½) printed a letter from the UK's leading actors. Their message chimes exactly with ours about the concerns of the current ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ board.

It's been said before that were a politician to be the subject of the same level of discontent as the current ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ Board, they would be forced to resign. It is essential for the wellbeing of cultural life in the UK that the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ board resign.

To attack the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ is to devalue our national culture as a whole

Letters, The Observer, Sunday 25 April 2010

Ahead of the forthcoming election, we wanted to raise our concerns about the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½'s future. Over the past few months, leading opposition politicians have suggested that a new government should prioritise cutting the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½'s licence fee. Others have shown a cavalier attitude towards the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½'s independence, calling, for example, for the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ to sell off Radio 1, to roll back its online activities and to get rid of the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½'s governing body, the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ Trust.

The ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ is the most important cultural organisation in Britain and an indispensable part of our society, admired and envied throughout the world. It is right that there is a national debate about the future of the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½. But attacking it to serve the interests of its commercial rivals would be short-sighted and threatens to devalue not just the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ itself, but our culture as a whole. We urge people to think about the consequences of their vote for this cherished part of our national life.

Thanks for the show link. Sahil Charaniya -- Maladaptivity (Feat.Tejas Rathod) / White - One of my favourite

Hai Boddy,

I have enjoyed with most of your releases, especially i often like to listen Basement Jaxx (I like it very much, some of friends were commenting with me when it was released).

Also Jaz Dhami is interesting. I hope this year(2010) too you would give us many shows than last year. Is there any other option other than ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ Asian Network to listen your show (Because sometimes ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ iplayer mightnot work properly i.e., /programmes/b00730pn). If you could provide alternate option it would be more useful.

Any way best wishes for your future show on the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ Asian Network. - From cheap .

I really like a lot of the artists on this list. My favorite has to be Lil Wayne. It's a shame about how things went down causing him to go to prison. The fact that someone can go to jail just for carrying a gun is crazy to me. Here in Michigan, that wouldn't happen. It's an open carry state, so I see people carrying their pistol in a all the time. Right out in the open. I think we should reconsider some of the laws in this country. While I've never used any type of illegal drug, I think it's ridiculous that drugs are illegal. Neither smoking marijuana nor carrying a gun should be a crime, and those are the only two things that put this fine artist in a place he didn't belong.
