Interesting article here, about 6 Music having an identity crisis. With their highest-rated Presenter, Steve Lamacq taking a step-back, and hosting Online content only, are they getting ready to move the operation Online?

Not to mention, featuring Pet Shop Boys on their playlist, no offence to Neil and Chris, but not what you would call 'Alternative'?!

In trying to shake off the ‘6 Music Dad’ tag and not be thought of as an indie rock hub, the BBC radio station isn’t sure what it wants to be any more
