Subject: Save BBC 6music & BBC Asian Network Campaign Update

Hello!
Thanks for signing the Save BBC 6 Music & Asian Network petition, over 60,000 already have and it’s still growing. So what else is happening in the campaign against the BBC cuts and how can you help?
The BBC Trust Consultation The closing day for the consultation is the 25th of May. This is the most important thing you have to do to get your voice heard. If you do one thing in this email then do this! Take your time - https://consultations.external.bbc.co.uk/departments/bbc/bbc-strategy-review/consultation/consult_view The 38Degrees quicker version - www.38degrees.org.uk/email-the-BBC
URGENT - BUY YOUR JOY DIVISION OVEN GLOVES BY SATURDAY NIGHT (10th April) ========================================================================= THIS WEEK, we are aiming to get Half Man Half Biscuits song Joy Division Oven Gloves into the charts at number 6. Why 6?
Because it is better than 1 or 2!
Please buy this track, which the 6Music DJs have played since the announcement, in support of our great radio station! It's in the top 5 at Amazon but languishing in the 90's at iTunes..... Details at joydivisionovengloves.com

Facebook - Over 170,000 people are now members of the Save 6Music group, which has become a central hub for people to connect with ideas and plans to keep the campaign moving forward. There are some fantastic discussions on there along with great ideas, videos, pictures and links. It's worth signing up to Facebook just for that! A big thank you to Jon and Tracy Morter for setting up the group.
The Protest - We had our lovely protest on the 27th April.
6Music presenters Liz Kershaw, Gideon Coe, Tom Robinson and Adam Buxton spoke to the 800 strong crowd, who also had the pleasure of fine music from Mirrorkicks, Allo Darlin', The Brute Chorus, Black Soul Strangers and The Coal Porters. The BBC, however, chose not to report it, although national and foreign media covered it. A massive thank you has to go to Laura Payne and Georgina Rodgers for organising the event, and to all the helpers on the day. If you haven’t seen the video, enjoy this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iQjnnlQuWw There are also plans being hatched to stage another protest in May.
There has been a very effective letter and email writing campaign that is winning the argument, we have answered every point the BBC has made for closing 6 and politicians of all parties now get the point that 6 is exactly what the BBC should be doing. The BPI and UK Music have just announced they are meeting the BBC Trust - after we targeted them. Love Jon Parry set up this fantastic email campaign, details - keep6email.wordpress.com/
You can also contact the election candidates for your seat and ask them where they stand on the issue of the BBC cuts. 38Degrees have made it easy to find them out and make contact with them on the issue - www.38degrees.org.uk/page/speakout/BBCpledge
Adam Buxton from Adam and Joe has made a great cover version of Bowie's Changes again, enjoy and spread amongst your friends www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKmzd4Cz7CY
Tune in Keep tuning in to 6Music and the Asian Network, it’s one of the best ways to show your support. Also check out the listen again feature on BBC iPlayer and all the great podcasts.
Please pass this email on to friends, family, anyone you can! We may contact you again before the consultation period ends just to update you with everything that’s going on.
Thank you all for the fantastic support.
Keep on Keeping on - We are winning and we will win!
