======================================================================
Rationale and Proposal from the RFD
Rationale:
There are already existing news groups in the uk.* hierarchy for
discussions for 5 out of the 6 national BBC radio stations.
With the introduction of the 6th station, the proposer believes
that creating a newsgroup for the new station would complement
the existing BBC radio groups, providing people with a place to
discuss station.
The creation of a new news group uk.media.radio.bbc-r6 would be
complementary to the exiting groups, conforming to the existing
uk.* Usenet hierarchy and serving a need for a place to discuss
the radio station.
The proposed name uk.media.radio.bbc-r6 has been chosen over the
name uk.media.radio.bbc-6music as the BBC has a habit of
renaming their radio stations. The name will also fit into the
current naming of the BBC radio newsgroups.
Proposed Charter: uk.media.radio.bbc-r6
This is an unmoderated newsgroup for the discussion of BBC Radio 6
music which is currently broadcast via DAB digital radio,
digital satellite television (channel 911), and telewest digital
cable television (channel 909) and globally over the Internet via
its website located at the URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music.
Topics reflect the programs broadcast on 6music and its wide
range of music.
