As a teacher, I’m always telling my kids to listen to R1 Relax. I’m a bit perplexed why they are closing the service. I agree that the mental health element is acutely public service.
Edit: I just said it’s closing, just re read the post. Only mentions ‘stop curating’. Meaning no new content? I’m not sure?
Personally, I think we will see 4Extra remaining open now. Some interesting points were made on “the rest is entertainment” about radio. Think they said 12% of BBC output is consumed in cars. Instead of having to search for a podcast, stations that broadcast them could be better?
