The review looked at the performance of the two BBC stations, including usage, quality, distinctiveness and value for money.

The key findings were:

Radio 2

Radio 2 was popular with listeners, who believed the station was distinctive. The review welcomed the lack of music overlap between Radio 2, Radio 1, 6 Music and comparable commercial radio stations. It concluded, however, that the station should become more distinctive by adopting a more ambitious approach to non-music content in peak time.
