I'm not sure I'd believe what this "group" is saying without hearing it from anywhere else (unless it was something Mark mentioned on this morning's show, which I haven't heard yet).
It would seem a bit strange to me for them to consider axeing him now, seeing as the weekend schedule has been changed twice in 6 months.

People are jumping the gun again. Mark Lamarr has not been axed; he will continue to present his Saturday morning show God's Jukebox. However, Mark's other shows - Shake, Rattle & Roll, The Reggae Show, and Alternative Sixties have been axed.
On a separate note Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour is being dropped from 6 Music which makes me wonder whether the show is moving to Radio 2. We shall see. |

Bob Dylan's show has been on both Radio 2 & 6 music, however I don't know which one's the repeat airing though!

| I think Dylan's shows have been sneakily repeated, hoping that we wouldn't notice! |

| I like Mark Lamar-he seems a very knowledgeable presenter to me. |

Which is probably he's lost his shows! |

Seems the knowledgeable music DJ's are being weeded out, as technology takes over. |

Indeed, Mark. And the alternative replacements aren't looking too good either.
Is Radio 2 gradually eradicating its specialist programming? |

They've been repeated a lot. I assumed he'd stopped making them?
Bob's shows are actually hard work for the BBC to recut, and they may simply no longer think the faff is worth it. |

| More than likely, Ian. I believe Dylan's shows have been running on 6 Music and Radio 2 since 2006. If Bob isn't making any more shows then perhaps this is why 6 Music is to drop the show. |

The shows would have been bought from the production company as a package, so once all the syndicated shows in that package have been broadcast that's it. It remains to be seen whether it has been re-commissioned in the USA.
