Ed spoke at yesterday’s protest against the proposed closure of BBC 6 Music. The Independent on Sunday today includes an article about the event and a nice quote from Ed about how the BBC fulfils different needs for different people. Ed has been an avid supporter and listener of 6 Music since the station came on the air, and, like thousands of other people, reckons the UK’s listening landscape would be a poorer place without it.
