The BBC itself reports:

Cornwall MP Julia Goldsworthy says the BBC should consider scrapping Radio 1.

But Ms Goldsworthy said: “They should be looking at other areas where there is already competition in the market, like Radio 1.”

UPDATE: As discussed in the comments below and confirmed by Julia herself, the BBC story is not an accurate reflection of her views.
