The BBC is refusing to comment on reports it plans to close two radio stations and scale back its web presence to make £600m in savings.

BBC Asian Network and 6 Music will be closed under the proposals, according to a report in The Times.

The Times claims the measures are part of a plan, due to be made public next month, to reduce the BBC's services and focus on quality over quantity. A spokeswoman for the corporation said she would not comment on "speculation".

The Times claims the report is currently being considered by the BBC Trust, the corporation's governing body. It allegedly involves a wide-ranging series of cuts that will make £600m available for higher quality programming.
