It's remit in reality is the same it has been for years - it's just those 40-somethings it attracted 20 years ago got older.
I used to love listening to BBC Radio 2, and I am 37, even when I was younger I really liked The Chris Evans Breakfast Show, Jeremy Vine etc. But that was nearly a decade a go when I was 27. Now in 2023, I feel BBC Radio 2 feels very like a slightly older BBC Radio 1 station.
This is the reason why I have moved over to Heart Radio - I don't understand what listeners Radio 2 is wanting to attract now in 2023 - has their remit changed?
I quite happily switch between Radio 1 and 2 and Capital as well.
