Jarvis Cocker spoke on picking up his award about the possible closure of the radio station, “6 Music is never going to be the biggest station in the UK but it would be devastating if it was to close. 6 Music isn’t going to change the world, it just wants to make it a bit nicer”. Adam Buxton spoke about winning his award, “My children went to school and boasted about the fact their dad was on Radio 1 and knew Chris Moyles. When the children found out that wasn’t true and, in fact, the station that dad was on was closing, it was very disappointing”.
