BBC Radio 6 Music (also still known as BBC 6 Music or BBC 6) is one of the BBC's digital radio stations. It was known officially as ''BBC 6 Music'' from its launch on 11 March 2002 until April 2011.〔BBC, ("BBC Radio 6 Music Programmes – Radcliffe and Maconie, With Guy Garvey, Cerys Matthews and Jarvis Cocker" ), 4 April 2011. Retrieved 15 December 2011.〕 6 Music was the first national music radio station to be launched by the BBC in 32 years.〔(BBC 6 Music pre-release website ) – archived website from 15 February 2002. "Stand by for the BBC's first new national music radio station in 32 years"〕 It is available only on digital media: DAB radio, the Internet, digital television, and in northern Europe through the Astra 2B satellite. Often referred to as the sister station of BBC Radio 2, it shares common features and DJs with both BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2. For instance, it operates a playlist of similar 'A/B/C' structure to both Radios 1 and 2〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Radio 1 playlist )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Radio 2 playlist )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=6 Music playlist )〕 and regularly shares selective tracks on its 'A' playlist with both stations, although it is generally less reliant upon chart music than the more mainstream stations. Evening and weekend programming, however, features a more diverse selection of tracks across genres both popular and on the fringes, with dedicated shows towards different forms of dance, jazz, soul, and Jamaican music, among others. The station also features performances from the BBC music archives, including the "Peel Sessions" put together by John Peel from the late 1960s to 2004. In July 2010, the BBC Trust announced it had rejected a proposal by the BBC to close 6 Music to provide commercial rivals more room. The Trust commented that the station was "well-liked by its listeners, was highly distinctive and made an important contribution."〔(BBC Trust Strategic Review Interim Conclusions ) Retrieved 5 July 2010〕 6 Music is the most listened to BBC digital radio station with an average weekly audience of 1.9 million. == History == BBC 6 Music was proposed in October 2000 as a "digital-only" radio station and named "Network Y".〔BBC, ("Launch date for BBC digital radio" ), 17 January 2002.〕〔BBC, ("BBC Proposed New Services" ), 2001.〕 ("Network X" became BBC Radio 1Xtra and "Network Z" BBC 7).〔(BBC Annual Report & Review 2000–2001 ). Confer section on Future Plans: Introduction & New Services. 〕 The station opened at 7 am, Monday, 11 March 2002, with a show presented by Phill Jupitus. At the start-up, presenters included Liz Kershaw, Andrew Collins, Tom Robinson, Gideon Coe, Janice Long, Chris Hawkins, Gary Burton, Craig Charles, Stuart Maconie, Brinsley Forde, Suggs, Clare McDonnell, Bruce Dickinson, Tracey MacLeod, Sean Hughes, and Bob Harris. The first record played was Ash's Burn Baby Burn〔(BBC Radio 6 Music – Cerys on 6, 6 Music Celebrates 10 Years live from Maida Vale )〕 6 Music attracted criticism for changing daytime schedules during late 2007 and early 2008. In response, Lesley Douglas, Controller of BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music at the time, said that the changes were intended to attract more female listeners. She claimed that men listened to music in an intellectual way while women were more emotionally attached. This in turn brought on more criticism of perceived sexism on Douglas' part. In March 2006, BBC 6 Music moved from Broadcasting House to new studios in the adjacent Western House to allow the regeneration of Broadcasting House.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC site about Western House )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BBC Radio 6 Music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
