  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.
An ageing Radio 1 audience was sticking with that station; Line repositioned Radio 2 to appeal exclusively to older listeners and introduced a lineup of older presenters and "light music" pitched squarely at a 50+ audience.
Radio 2 was neglecting the fact that by the mid-nineties a substantial audience in their forties, fifties and early sixties had grown up with rock and modern pop, and were still listening to contemporary music; they and the generation that had been abandoned by Radio 1 had largely deserted the BBC for commercial stations.

 BBC Radio 2 - Media UK
Radio 2 is one of the BBC's national radio stations and is the most popular station in the UK.
Today Radio 2 is the most listened to radio station in the UK, with its schedule filled with top name presenters like Terry Wogan, Steve Wright, Johnnie Walker, Bob Harris, Richard Allinson, Jonathan Ross, Mark Lamarr and Michael Parkinson.
Perhaps the main reason of Radio 2’s popularity in recent years is due to the desertion of former Radio 1 listeners when that station reverted to the youth audience in the late 90s.
