It seems the recent rumours are true.

BBC 6 Music and Asian Network are facing closure, Mark Thompson Director General of the corporation, has said.

Speaking to staff Mr Thompson also announced that there will be 25% less spent on BBC online by 2013.

Among the closures will be teen services Switch and Blast, with Mr Thompson admitting Channel 4 should lead the way with these audiences.

He pledged that in the future 90p of every licence fee £1 will be spent on programming.
Should the Beeb be closing these two radio channels? Should more of their fringe channels be axed or are these niche channels catering for people ignored by the commercial sector? Where would you save money at the BBC?
