BBC executive Tim Davie on his rejected plans to close 6 Music.

BBC executive Tim Davie had planned to close 6 Music; he responds to the BBC Trust's decision to save it. Sir Michael Lyons of BBC Trust faces questions on executive pay.

This week the BBC published its annual report and the BBC Trust responded to the BBC executive's strategic review. 

Tim Davie is the director of the BBC's Audio and Music team who proposed the closure of BBC 6 Music. Now that the BBC Trust has rejected his plans, what is his strategy for digital radio? 

Sir Michael Lyons is chairman of the BBC Trust, charged with overseeing the BBC. How does he respond to claims that relations between the Trust and the BBC executive have become strained? 

Steve raises these questions with Tim Davie and Sir Michael Lyons and discusses the BBC's image with tv executive Peter Bazalgette and Guardian media commentator Emily Bell.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
