Proms broadcasts in FLAC format

[uncleboko]

Is the BBC planning to broadcast Radio 3 in lossless FLAC format again this year?

Can't find a mention anywhere. I know R3 wanted to, but others at the BBC were dubious.

Shame.

Possibly because the Beeb is now using so much data bandwidth providing other radio channels than Radio 3 with 320kbs aac?

It is a crying shame. I thought last year's FLAC broadcasts were by far the highest quality I’ve ever heard 'off the radio'.

I felt exactly the same. The sound quality was tremendous.
