[kuepper]

Tim Davie: Ex councillor for the Conservative Party in Hammersmith and deputy chairman of the Hammersmith and Fulham Conservative party. Politically neutral then.

"It was during the time (when he was in charge of audio and music ops )that Davie led the plans to scrap 6 Music and the Asian Network, saying the corporation had too many stations and needed to invest in “unique, high-quality radio”. The BBC backed down on closing both stations after a huge public campaign. 6 Music has since gone from strength to strength, reporting record audience figures earlier this year."
