DR P2

DR P2 – in Denmark normally referred to as simply P2 (pe to) – is the second of four national radio channels currently operated by the Danish public broadcaster DR (formerly, Danmarks Radio). It specializes in the broadcasting of classical music, both recorded and in live performance, as well as reporting on and providing discussion of the classical music scene.

DR P2 is broadcast nationally on Denmark's fourth terrestrial FM radio channel (which it shares with DR P1) and is distributed, too, via digital radio, as well as being streamed on the internet.

The channel first took to the air in 1951, under the name Danmarks Radio Program 2. It has since then also been known, at various periods, as DR P2 Klassisk and DR Klassisk.

Since 1991 P2 has organized a chamber music competition for promising young musicians, held every 2–3 years.
