6music saved

Sssh! Don't tell anyone but I've always had this secret fantasy life. It was that one day I'd end up working behind the scenes at BBC Radio 6 music.

Whilst working there, I'd somehow manage to get to present a show - probably because the weekend breakfast presenter fell drastically ill at the last minute or something. From there I'd end up regularly presenting late night slots, before being plucked from obscurity to co-host the breakfast show…

There's more to it than that, but it all gets a little odd really and perhaps I shouldn't share.

The suggestion that 6music would be closed down was a heart breaking moment for me. My secret fantasty would never come true. It was like being stabbed twice - once as my favourite station would go whilst the second life killed off my dreams. Dreams that stand about a 0.001% chance of becoming true, but hey, you've got to have your dreams, don't you?

Today the dream is back on! The fantasty is once more alive! 6music is saved! Woo!

Although those who had fantasies about somehow ending up on the Asian Network probably won't be celebrating...
