OK, here they are.

According to this graph, BBC2 out-does both C4 and C5.
Also, all digital channels taken together can't out-do either BBC1 or ITV1. This graph shows BBC1 as the most popular general entertainment channel, and BBC2 as the most popular 'minority' channel.
EDIT:
This page:

shows how the arrival of C4, C5, satellite and cable has dented BBC1 and ITV's viewing share over the last 20 years, although ITV has clearly been much harder hit than BBC1.
It also shows that BBC2's audience share is virtually unchanged - 12% in 1981, 11.4% today. Given that channels that didn't exist 20 years ago now have 38% of the share between them, you could say BBC2 is relatively more popular than it has ever been.
