John Peel's Maida Vale Studio Set To Close
July 2, 2007, 17 years ago
According to NME.com, the BBC are planning to close their famous Maida Vale studios in west London, explaining it's not suitable for the "21st-century digital age".
The closure of the studio, which was home to John Peel's classic radio sessions, is part of a six-year "reprioritisation" plan for the BBC.
The plan is to sell it to a developer, although a final decision on the studio's fate won't be made until next year.
LED ZEPPELIN, THE SMITHS, BLUR and NIRVANA are a few of the rock heavyweights to lay down sessions at the studio. The BBC are yet to announce whether the studio will be replaced or not.
