Upping the numbers

The BBC is proposing four and a half new semi-automated radio services on DAB. No clear brand names yet, but here's my stab. Apparently, if you're losing listeners, the BBC answer is to spread out....

RADIO 1 NEW MUSIC

Less obvious tracks from the past twenty years, plus new bands. 

RADIO 1 DANCE

Existing service fleshed out

RADIO 2 POP HISTORY

Boom Radio won't be happy. Hits from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Archive stuff, and nearly-archived presenters

RADIO 3 CHILL

Their words - "Peaceful favourites to ethereal choral music, and soothing orchestral textures to minimal and neoclassical sounds"

RADIO 5LIVE SPORTS EXTRA

Adding sports podcasts to the intermittent live commentaries
