Funny how nobody gives a shit about Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 4, 6 Music and
1Xtra using 128 kbps and transmitting at low audio quality, BBC7 and Asian
Network permanently transmitting in mono when a lot of its content is in
stereo, and Radio 4 frequently being reduced to mono.
That all seems to be hunky dory so long as Radio 3's bit rate isn't reduced
to 160 kbps - a bit rate that is still higher than all the other BBC
stations.
Incredible.
I think the reasoning behind this must be that the type of material typically
broadcast by Radio 3 is such that technical impairments would be more
noticeable than on other types of material. It may also be thought that the
type of people who would usually listen to it might be more discerning.
Whichever it is, in assigning a higher data rate to this service, the BBC are
simply allocating a limited resource in what seems the most appropriate
manner.
Unfortunately, it still doesn't sound very good, but you knew that.
Rod.
