Bahnhof Strasse
Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
If as seems to be the way, the license fee goes, tv and radio stations will become commercial.
If you have ever watched tv or tried to listen to radio in the US ( or Canada, to a lesser extent) you will know how fucking awful it is.
We have Six Music, it’s a hot July Sunday afternoon, they are playing some very mellow French crap I have never heard before. They utterly hit the mood of the moment. Xfm will be playing the same dad-rock playlist they play all week, 24/7, Asolute Radio the same. And so on.
If Six must be commercialised, commercials will kill it. So would you pay a subscription for it?
I won’t for any news sources, get a minor thrill each time I bust a paywall. But think it would be happy to pay for Six, for all it’s imperfections (please stop playing thrash-metal at 1130 on a Tuesday, Mary-Ann), how much I ain’t sure…
