There is a thing about Asian Network when compared to Radio 3 and 1Extra in particular. Radio 3 has a core audience that is never going to desert it, seeing as they never deserted classical music even when there was none of this "recorded sound" fad. 1Extra should have been in place 10-15 years ago truth be told, but it clearly has an audience beyond its remit as an "urban music" station, and its worth has been proven, just like radio 3. Its just a fact that "Asian" (i use the inverted commas advisedly) music has not found its way into the mainstream.
Im from West London, and I know for a fact theres a considerable audience that Asian Network clearly caters to. The best and most numerous posters round where i live are for the Asian club nights, buts it still seems too niche to justify a whole station.
