While the BBC can broadcast Radio 3 by FM .We have a source of very high audio quality. Why should we accept less than we have had for 40 years or more with excellent FM receivers. Live BBC Radio 3 FM Broadcasts are superb.
Satellite and Internet are on balance second best since to convert to something that remotely approaches the FM undigitized stuff, is tied in with poor receiver quality and bit rate constraints rather than continuous waveform analogue.
The digital genre will work with receivers made to the same standard as the BBC digital broacast equipment running at a high bit rate. It will be the same as with CD at first, sounding dreadful, because the CD players were poorly designed with low grade electronics. It took til Bluray CD compatible players to show how CD's could now be replayed at far better quality . The same will happen with DAB+ takiong decades for decent receivers to produce the potential quality of good analogue
