"We can now confirm that we won't be holding a BBC event at this year's WMC. Unfortunately the BBC's live event budget has been cut significantly, and because Miami was one of the most costly events it was the first to go.
We'll do everything we can to find a way to bring it back in future, and you guys posting here about how much of an institution it became does help. We're just glad that last year's event was so momentous and a great way to say goodbye, if only temporarily.
Meanwhile we'll be doing our best to create the same amazing vibe at Global Gathering this year (which the BBC partners with in the UK, and hopefully will be involved in for Miami in some way), so we'll see you all on March 18th!"

I don't get this...they could have easily charged a nominal cover charge to help cover cost, say like $10-15 or so. Which I am sure many people would have more than happy to pay to keep Radio 1 there. Instead Wetgrooves is charging $30 for their party at Nikki Beach and there still isn't any lineup announced -- and it would have to be super stellar at that price!
First Ultra moves from Bayfront to Bicentennial (with Joakenfold as a headliner), now this!
The only event so far announced I am totally gung ho about is Armada night (with Maganite) and I am sure Space is going to be absolutel rammed. I'm having a hard time justifying my trip and expenses to WMC at this point. Good thing all my flight and hotel reservations are cancleable...Guess I'll have to see what events start popping up in the next 2 months.

I believe the program director also changed and is not as much into the dance music scene as the former one was...or, so Ive heard.
