Rejected petition To compel BBC 6Music to play My Sharona

As a BBC license-payer I feel it is incumbent upon this broadcasting institution to maintain and uphold the very highest levels of performance for the British Public. As such, I can think of no better way for the BBC to conduct itself than to play this song which is, unarguably, the best song ever.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.

You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
