EBC Radio 6

EBC Radio 6 is a Euroish radio station owned and operated by the EBC, specialising primarily in rock and alternative music.

At the time of it's launch, it was the first new music station to be launched by the EBC in 24 years. It was also the first station from the EBC to launch as an FM-only station, and replaced classical music station EBC Radio 4 on it's former FM frequency.

EBC Radio 6 has been described as "a station dedicated first and foremost to giving a platform to new and experimental artists, mixed in with classics from notable and underrated rock, dance and alternative artists." The station itself describes itself as "the cutting edge music talent of right now, and the iconic, timeless music talent of the past 60 years, plus insightful, entertaining pop culture talk and the best in intelligent, innovative comedy."

Since 2006, the EBC has held an annual festival dedicated to the station, Radio 6 Live, which is also broadcast live on the station and on Network Two. The station also covers other music events, notably Glastonbury.

History
Proposals for a sixth, and even a seventh, national public radio station came around in the mid-1980's when Radio 5 (now known as EBC 5 News) came on air.
