My old stereo (stolen at the beginning of last year) said "BBC R2" as well. It did occur to me that they were only as accurate as the broadcast, but it seemed unlikely that it would have changed to "BBC RADIO 2" and back in that space of time. And simultaneously with my exchanging my stereo. More likely that the clever Sony (and former Denon) was clever enough to realise it was too long, see "RADIO", and strip it down on the assumption that people would be aware.
Unless there are two different title fields, which is of course possible.
Worth mentioning, of course, that a long station name gets scrolled around on the Hitachi - but you have to wait a few seconds which is really aggravating when you're trying to flip past BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 5 Live to get to BBC Radio 7. (6Music, of course, was easier to spot, but alphabetically out of sequence...)
