Radio 1 and 2 also have to be distinctive from commercial competitors. So you have R1 with extended Newsbeat and PSB programming especially at weekends with Life Hacks, while R2 has a daily current affairs programme and specialist programming off-peak, which allows the commercial stations to play the hits with some local news.
