Seems a little odd as a format for the edited guide, if that's what you're planning... I'd have thought an entry on R2 would have been better including a brief history of the station (when it was created, from what, why, etc...), what sort of music it plays (for those who've never heard it), that sort of thing...
Frankly this seems a little too much like advertising, even if it is for the bbc on the bbc.
Not withstanding that, it is against the house rules specific to h2g2 to post other peoples contact details - are the details you've posted available elsewhere on the BBC or have you found them externally?

The Radio2 email address is ok, but the controller's address should come out.
This doesn't really bring much to the Guide - there isn't anything here that couldn't be found on, say, the Radio 2 pages. In fact, I think an entry on a BBC service would have to be either outstanding, or have some sort of quirky aspect to make it worth reading about it here, rather than on the Radio 2 section - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/about/whatis.shtml
Sorry about sounding so harsh, I know that you're new to h2g2, have you had a look through some of the other Edited Entries that we have on Radio? Here's one on Radio One - A447301, and you can find others here C885.
Don't give up, have a really good look through, and come back and see if you can make us really love your entry.

And there was me going to go 
well done for having a bash only just noticed. I havn't even made a start yet. I'm sure you and the experts will be able to write something amazing between you. 
Oh I've thought of one topic can't find a thing on Hospital Radio & DJ's

Dear Nick,
Have just noticed your Guide entry about R2, went to look and saw that you have pulled it.
Sorry that you have - would have enjoyed reading it.
Perhaps you are going to resubmit - I do hope so. Please don't be put off.
