Electric Proms cancelled by BBC because nobody watched them

The BBC has axed its annual Electric Proms season after five years, citing financial considerations and the failure to locate anyone who watched the televised shows.
Despite featuring new rising talents such Sir Elton John, Robert Plant, Neil Diamond, Sir Paul McCartney, Dame Shirley Bassey, Oasis and Robbie Williams, it appears that no-one tuned into the cutting edge Electric Proms during its five-year history. Since its inception in 2006, the October event had taken place at the Roundhouse and other venues in Camden, north London and so the BBC could in no way be accused of being London-centric.
‘In the end, the expense of the artists receiving a free Becks and a taxi home was disproportionately high when considering viewing figures were nil,’ said Radio 2 Controller, Bob Shennan. However, he was “very proud of its fantastically rewarding run" with the venues being crammed full of BBC employees each night. The Electric Proms are not to be confused with The Proms, which features the music of boring old farts that is performed in front of privileged middle and upper class audiences in another round building in London.
