BFBS Radio 2, Much More from March 31st!

Recent audience research has revealed that the ideal BFBS Radio 2 has more speech, and a mixture of classics and Gold music.

In Cyprus only, Nigel Rennie will continue his popular Breakfast Show each weekday.

Richard Astbury is back on daytime BFBS Radio 2. Richard brings his successful Classic Weekend Breakfast format to a new time 0900-1000, Monday to Friday. Richard's weekend programme will still be there, with the best of the week's classical selections.

Dave Windsor has always entertained with his specialist knowledge of Gold music, and with the station now bringing classic hits from 1965-1995 Dave's programme (1000-1300 UKT) is ideally placed during the workday, and full of information about the forces world.

Glen Mansell has been presenting a lively and in-depth forces focused programme at the new time of 1330-1700 UKT for the past few months. Glen & Will continue to reflect worldwide forces life and topical defence issues from their base in JHQ in Germany, and will bring music to remember from our catalogue of familiar classic oldies.

Audience research said BFBS Radio 2 should bring more news across the day. The station will broadcast Today, BBC News on the hour, The World At One, PM and the Six O'clock News.

The new line up has even more sport coverage form Five Live and some extra surprises at the weekend. There's a new Saturday morning programme “The Week On 2” with Dusty Miller, which will brings the best of the forces week from around the world in two hours.

There is so much more on BFBS Radio 2 from Monday 31 st March 2008.
