Radio 2 (Belgium)
Radio 2 is a Dutch-language Belgian public broadcasting radio station, part of the Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie (VRT). It is one of the five national radio stations operated by the VRT. Radio 2 primarily targets an older audience, generally listeners aged 35 and above, with a focus on easy listening music, news, regional information, and entertainment. It emphasizes popular Dutch-language music (Nederlandstalig) alongside international hits.
Radio 2 is known for its strong regional presence, with dedicated local editions broadcast from five different studios across Flanders: Antwerp, East Flanders, Flemish Brabant, Limburg, and West Flanders. These regional stations provide localized news, weather reports, and cultural programming relevant to their respective areas. This regional focus contributes significantly to Radio 2's popularity and listener loyalty within Flanders.
The station's programming also includes call-in shows, features on health and lifestyle, and coverage of community events. Throughout the year, Radio 2 organizes various public events and contests, further engaging with its audience and strengthening its position within the Flemish media landscape.
