BBC Two (or BBC2 as it was formerly styled) was the second UK television station to be aired by the BBC and Europe's first television channel to broadcast regularly in colour (from 1967), envisaged as a home for less mainstream and more ambitious programming.
BBC One was able to continue broadcasting via its facilities at Alexandra Palace, but all attempts to show the scheduled programmes on the new channel failed.

Since all the recording equipment at BBC Television Centre were out of action, the only recordings of the aborted launch programme were believed to be amateur audio recordings made by enthusiasts in their homes.

Thirty years ago there were a number of such programmes on the BBC, and the disappearance of one of them would scarcely have been noticed.
After criticism from the governors of the Corporation that BBC 2 was relying too heavily on leisure programmes such as makeover, gardening and food shows (all of which admittedly can be perfectly enjoyable), Ms Root has recently made a slight effort to redress the balance.
But BBC 2 has recently lost a greater share of its audience in the ABCl socio-economic categories than any other terrestrial television channel.

The project has been named 'Beyond Broadcast' and it outlines "a three-pronged approach to refocus all future BBC digital output and services around three concepts - "share", "find" and "play"." According to Ashley Highfield, the BBC director of new media and technology, "share" is the key concept.

 BBC Radio 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radio 2 gradually settled down as a middle of the road station playing a mixture of laid-back pop/rock, folk and country, jazz and big-band music, easy listening, light classics, and 'oldies', with significant amounts of comedy and sport; this policy continued until the late 1980s with new controller Frances Line repositioning the station.
Although popular with its target audience, this policy alienated younger listeners who had previously time-shared between Radio 1 and Radio 2; the station's audience fell drastically, taking another hit when sport coverage was moved to Radio 5; the rise of album-rock commercial stations (particularly Virgin Radio), also impacted Radio 2's audience, taking younger listeners away.
BBC Radio 2's last closedown was at 02:02 GMT on 27 January 1979.

I can imagine an evolving BBC being associated with another mainstream medium if that medium fits the objectives of the BBC’s plans (see the speech by Mark Thompson, BBC Director-General, for an idea of how it could).
The bigger question (as always in these things) is the extent to which BBC can move the entire culture forward to match the challenges of global business as compared with public service.
It can be argued the BBC already has global attention through World Service and language specific services but those are delivered within the context of a public service culture.
