"You may have heard that we offered an extra high quality (320kbs AAC) online audio stream for the last week of the BBC Proms this year (read about the experiment on the BBC Internet blog). The feedback we received was almost universally good. Listeners really appreciated the richer sound quality which made a fairly obvious difference even to the casual listener. Well, I can now confirm that for the first time for non-classical output, we'll offer the same higher quality audio stream for this year's BBC Radio 2 Electric Proms concerts".
Chris Kimber, Managing Editor at BBC Audio & Music Interactive, has blogged about the benefits of HD sound to the listener. To read the blog post in full and to make a comment, head over to the Radio blog.
