 Paul Rodgers, then 6 Music's editor at the BBC, greeted Ravenscroft's appointment, describing him as "a great young broadcaster with all the knowledge, passion and articulacy that you might expect from someone of his lineage".Ravenscroft joined the station during a threat of closure, but an audience surge, alongside a campaign website hosted by the British Phonographic Industry, ultimately secured its survival.Since 2014 Ravenscroft has also hosted a weekly midnight slot as part of the nightly "6 Music Recommends" show, which features new music edited by several of the station's DJs.
