I've not bitten. It just seems fair to put my view in. It's always the same posters who try to offer some reason and just get shot down.

This thread is heading for the inevitable lock, unless of course the_lhc wishes to take up dvdaudio's suggestion and talk about Victor Meldrew.
However, the fact that Mr Meldrew is a) a fictional character and b) dead (within the fiction) means he is, I suspect, unlikely to be an acquaintance of Mr lhc.

Do you really have to ask?

Please stop, the irony is killing me...

You're the one ranting about supposed conspiracy theories within the BBC and yet when respected employees of the magazine give you a sensible answer you ignore it because it doesn't fit your viewpoint. Ignore me, fine, as you suggest I don't know what I'm talking about but ignoring the opinion of someone like Clare is little more ridiculous.
talk about victor meldrew is he your friend.
I must be getting old, I can't even summon up the energy to give this the withering sneer it so richly deserves...

...is of the highest calibre obviously, I picked Clare simply because her explanation was almost exactly the same as mine, although I've been trying not to mention that as I didn't want to turn it into even more of a "him vs. me" situation, so highlighting our erstwhile E-I-C seemed a better option.

Nothing whatsoever erstwhile about Clare.

NSYGrinner. most Radio1 and 2 listeners will be at work or in some working enviroment you quote? No snobbery here then
More a realistic acknowledgement that most workplaces providing radio listening for their employees are more likely to be doing so using Radio 1 or 2, or perhaps a local music-based station, rather than Radio 3.

dvdaudio:why is radio 3 given the hd treatment when radio 1 or radio 2 are not,
radio 1 and2 have far more listeners by far is this radio snobbery at work
for the upper classes, just like the money the arts get from the lottery to help ballet
or am i being paranoid your thoughts on this issue are welcome.
Simple Answer -R1 and most of R2 is very heavily compressed and raising the bit rate will make no difference.
Whether you like Classical or not (and I don't really) the quality of the recordings is light years ago of the pop rubbish on R1 so it can reap the benefit of higher rates.
I want R6 on FM!!!
and what is HD radio anyway ?

KT66:

Quite! In this instance it's a total misnomer and really just BBC's marketing ploy for what is merely a slightly less inadequate version of the R3 internet radio service. At less than 1/4 the bitrate of CD I think it takes some audacity to refer to it as 'HD'!
Or is it a clever bit of marketing, reflecting the fact that much of the music-listening public now regard 128 - 256 kbps bit-rates as providing 'normal' sound quality?
Either way I find it a rather absurd situation.

NSYGrinner:
I would have thought most of Radio 1 and 2 listeners during the day would be either at work or in some work envirinment where it is just some background noise to help the time pass. That and the compressed sound would be more of a waste. Radio 3 on the other hand playing classical music is so much better to actually listen to. The extra quality will be useful and appreciated.
If I recall when cd first came out it was the classical recordings which were more of a driving force and getting released faster than chart stuff. When I got my first player it was more of a case of I'm going to buy a cd what is there available rather than I'm going to buy that title on cd instead of vinyl.
Furthermore, whereas the pop/rock world has all but dis-owned SACD, this higher resolution disc format still has considerable presence in the classical and jazz worlds, suggesting that the audiences for these kinds of music will generally be more bothered about the HD quality broadcasts.

This transisition is nothing. Years ago, Radio 3 was one of the first programs to go on the new FM band! For a long while there was no pop at ALL. Then, on medium wave only, there was BBC Radio1. Eventually pop was taken seriously enough to join FM and later, God bless, in stereo!
