Radio 2 - who's it aimed at?

[antspider]

not so much in the evenings. I do think there seems to be a recent management policy of including more stuff which you might expect on 1 Extra, maybe trying to bring more of da yoof in to listen? Probably misjudged.

Always enjoy Marc Riley, Gideon Coe, Iggy, Tom Robinson. And Lauren Laverne the cheery Mackem in the mornings.

Pretty much agree with you there CH
Just be great to find a station I could just stick on during the day, maybe I need to look harder :)...

Well for a start listening between 12 and 2.00 is a mistake when Jeremy with his talk shite VIne daily Mail reader phone ins is a big mistake. If he isn’t making you miserable or scaring you to death he isn’t doing his job.
Apart from that though it’s for probably over 50s who’s only interest in music is as a background of songs and artists they know that they can sing along to and some chatter from familiar voices in between, while they do other things.They probably don’t buy music either.
People like my wife and there are plenty of them. They do that fairly well,but expecting much more is a mistake.

Not if you hear their views they aren’t.To be fiar when he started that was probably true, but he’s become more Daily Mail / Express headline topics as time’s gone on. But isn’t really what the topic or radio 2 is really about so not worth getting into.

I'd say radio 2 is for 25-40. Radio 1 is like a childrens radio channel, shocking

I think most BBC audiences are older than the stations’ target. That should tell them something.
