The protest culminated in a campaign to get Half Man Half Biscuit's song, "Joy Division Oven Gloves" into the charts. (at number 6)

The campaign used all aspects of the media, from radio 6 itself to websites like facebook, and here.

As a result of this concerted effort by those that gave a shit, (including me) HMHB shot up to the magnificent position of 56th in the singles chart.

I must say, at the time, people were posting here about how if anything, it should be radio 1 that gets axed, since their output is covered in spades by commercial outlets. This argument has carried weight, at least from what I've heard on the radio today.

Good news :) I don't listen to it very often, but I can see it's importance.
