The sites that are most clearly following their PSB remits most clearly in my opinion are BBC radio 4 and BBC radio 5 live. Radio 4 has taken on a strong reputation as being a relaxing radio station with a variety of conversation to retain the same target audience year after year with very minimalist changes to their programmes despite drastic changes in technology. Secondly, BBC radio 5 live has stayed to true to it's sport fans by not adding anything different and still having lots of interactivity with listeners.
