BBC Radio has launched a quick commissioning round for independent production companies to take over producing a number of music shows on Radio 2, 1Xtra and 6 Music.

Deadline reported last week that Somethin Else' (owned by Sony) was withdrawing from at least some of its contracts because of concerns over diminishing commercial returns.

Probably the biggest available commission on the list is Trevor Nelson's late show on Radio 2, which as Matt Deegan notes on his weekly media podcast, costs around £800 per show (for 200 shows a year)
It doesn't quite represent a complete withdrawal on Sony's part - Somethin' Else also produces (among other things) Liza Tarbuck's Saturday night show on Radio 2 and Gardeners Question Time for Radio 4.
