Different demographics

The Classic FM lead news story at 8.20 this morning while driving into work: "British relatives of victims of the 9/11 attacks have welcomed the American government's statement that it will execute six men accused of planning the attacks if they are found guilty."

The Radio 2 lead news story at 8.30 this morning while just pulling into work: "Human rights groups have criticised the American government etc."

I don't know if this different outlook illustrates a fundamental dichotomy between classical music and easy listening, or even just between listeners to Simon Bates and Terry Wogan. There's probably a PhD in there somewhere.
