The BBC has announced plans to launch a new Radio 2 spin-off station focusing on music from the 1950s, 60s and 70s.
It is one of four new radio stations the corporation intends to launch on DAB and online via BBC Sounds in an effort to attract new audiences.
Radio 1 will get a new sister station targeted at young listeners, which will play music from the last two decades.
The BBC said the stations would give people "more choice and value from the licence fee".

Wish they would focus on keeping BBC 4. One of the best channels there is even after they have cut loads of new content and just put on old shows. For example tonight 2 really good old dramas on there from 10pm.1

New audiences? Not just clinging on to old ones then? Strikes me a a lazy and cheap option as opposed to promoting genuinely new music. It may way meet the entertain element of their remit, but it's hard to see how this educates or informs as I'd fully expect any potential listeners to already be well educated, informed and served for this type of music.clive said:The BBC has announced plans to launch a new Radio 2 spin-off station focusing on music from the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

Scott Mills has just been announced as her replacement0

That's a pity, I liked Zoe, Mills is not my cup of tea. I'd have preferred getting either Richard Allinson back from GHR, or giving it to Gabby Roslin.MarcusH26 said:Scott Mills has just been announced as her replacement0 -
Can’t stand him .MarcusH26 said:Scott Mills has just been announced as her replacement3 -
But that's returning Radio 2 to a much older audience than it has now, Mills is fine, whole point of Radio 2 is to take Radio 1 presenters as they get too old for that network and move up.Redmidland said:
