From Wikipedia: The first show had started at 0530am on the Light programme but continued with Breakfast Special from Paul Hollingdale as Radio 1 split. In early years, much programming and music was common to both stations, particularly on the shared FM frequency. Radio 1 was targeted at the audience of pirate radio stations whereas Radio 2 settled down as a middle-of-the-road station playing laid-back pop/rock, folk and country, jazz and big-band music, easy listening, light classics, and oldies, with significant amounts of comedy and sport. - en.wikipedia.org read more about BBC Radio 2 on wikipedia (summary by Clipped).

Katherine: When the BBC ALBA TV station is on-air, most of the BBC radio stations have to go off-air. This was the only way they could cram BBC ALBA into the space.
The only radio stations that remain on-air on Freeview are the digital-only stations with the largest listening figures: 1 Xtra, 6 Music and 5 Live Sports. BBC Radio 2 remains available on FM and DAB.

Obviously the above only applies to transmitters in Scotland, including the Selkirk transmitter and its relays in the East Borders region. It may also apply to the Scottish service from Caldbeck.

Hi, re BBC Alba - radio channels are still available on freeview but switch to channels 800 onwards 810 (R1), 809 (R2), 808 (R3), 807 (R4). Complete pain in the neck though.

Jo Allen: This will be because you are able to receive them from an "English" transmitter. Much better than not having them at all, I would have thought.

Jo Allen: If you're in the south-west of Scotland, your local transmitter could be Caldbeck, which provides both English and Scottish versions of all three PSB multiplexes. Most viewers won't be able to receive from a transmitter that provides both.

Absolutly diabolical that BBC (Freeview Radio 2)should pander to the minority of listeners. i.e. need the bandwith for Alba (Gaelic).If 1.5% of Scots understand Gaelic give them 1.5% of Radio 2 -about 5 days a year.

Why is the Rowridge BBC radio transmission so weak on analogue. I live on the mainland near Southampton and I have a clear site line to the transmitter which is about 12 miles away? It appears to have been like this for quite awhile

James Fox: A new transmitter is being constructed close to the original at Rowridge. During the construction period, analogue radio services have been reduced in power output.
