The panelists are Cosey Fanni Tutti (Throbbing Gristle), Penny Martin (Rootstein Hopkins Chair of Fashion Imagery at the London College of Fashion) and Claire Titley (from London-based independent live music promoter/record label Upset the Rhythm).

BBC - Radio Labs - Fan cultures in radio (5) - Specialist Music and Public Service Media

This week we are publishing a series of short posts from researchers who have been studying the online behaviours of listeners and fans of BBC radio and today we come to the last study. This one's a bit different as it started off looking at fans of specialist music but also ended up studying us - the BBC Audio & Music team. So here's Andrew Dubber and Tim Wall of Birmingham City University...

why do 6 Music do the complete opposite to these suggestions?

6 Music Management (in particular Lesley Douglas) are ignorant and do not respond to the suggestions of 6 music listeners, they lack music knowledge and are bunch of complacent conformist mainstreamers that appease large record companies and radio pluggers.
