BRUCE DICKINSON’s 6 Music show is to be axed, while Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie's Radio 2 show is going down to three nights a week.
IRON MAIDEN singer Dickinson has presented a show for 6 Music since it's launch in 2002.
The show goes out on Fridays from 9 PM to midnight on Friday nights and aims to takes the listener on “a guitartastic journey”. It will reportedly finish at the end of April.
Meanwhile, Radcliffe and Maconie's weeknight show is being cut from four to three days a week to make way for a new live concert show on Wednesdays.
A 6 Music spokeswoman says, “6 Music is currently reviewing the way it reflects the Rock/Heavy Metal genres across the network and has decided to decommission the Friday Night Rock Show. The network, however, remains committed to reflecting both genres throughout the schedule as part of its core music offering. We would very much like to thank Bruce Dickinson for the hard work and commitment he has shown to 6 Music over the past eight years.”
