Edited highlights from a day's broadcasting on BBC Radio 2 on Sunday 22 April 1990.

The rot of Radio 1 of 1993 has arrived in 2022 for Radio 2. Melodies for you and Family Favourites were the staple of quality for Sundays

What a delightful composite of Radio 2 output,(now some 33 years later) including 3 giants of BBC radio Baker,Dell & Carrington; interestingly the latter reminding the listener of the importance of 'Live Orchestral' music e.g the NDO; Now largely non existent. My personal favourites- Alan Dell's prog.'Sounds Easy' and 'Sing Something Simple',with its over 10million fans. Also take note- problems in Nigeria and on the 5yr old M25 don't appear much changed today! Radio 2 is now a 'NO GO' wavelength for me and millions of 'older' listeners' Sad,very Sad!

Radio 2 used to be an amazing station and I had it on most of the day. Sadly, it's terrible these days, and I haven't listened for years.

Quality JAMS jingles as well.

The variety of programmes and perhaps even more the ability of each of these presenters is quite amazing when compared to today.

As a 16 year old listening to radio 2 in 1989 I couldn’t stand it! Now I wish I could go back to it😪

Interesting snapshot of what Radio 2 had to offer on a typical Sunday back in 1990. Still with elements of the Light Programme.

This bears no resemblance to Radio 2 nowadays. I did know Graham Knight and his wife, but not through the radio.

[@spmoran4703]

Glory days before WOKE ruined it . Well done the trendies. Ruined it for the rest of us .
