I actually think he’s right, that it’ll be perception rightly or wrongly from alienated listeners. It’s also likely how the press will report it.

At this stage a DAB Radio 2 Gold is almost needed to cater for those who are too old for Radio 2 but there isn’t an obvious BBC offering for, although it won’t be allowed to happen. This general direction is good news for Boom Radio though.

Surely what Radio 2 is no different to what Radio 1 has done and make it more relevant to the current listeners.

The changes in music policy are just natural as time goes on. We're now at the point where music from the 2000s is considered nostalgic.

I’m not saying Radio 2 shouldn’t evolve, I’m also not saying the BBC should offer an alternative. 

I’m talking about how this move will be presented and by many perceived. 

I also imagine the audience group that’s being displaced this time is bigger than those from repositioning of years gone by with boomer generation and the trend for people living longer.
