I normally listen on FM of course, but yesterday I checked on the bit
rate on Radio 4 yesterday morning and it was 128 kbps. Noticeably
inferior to FM.

FM doesn't have a "bit rate", so it's meaningless to say that 128kb/s is
"noticeably inferior" to it.

Actually, it probably does. Either because the information is sent to the
TX using a digital system, or simply due to Shannon. :-)

Slainte,

Jim
