Dunno, Jim. The transmission side of the BBC was out sourced many
years ago. So may have changed things to commercial PCM equipment
for distribution too.


That's possible, yes. I've asked in the past but never been able to
find out for sure. Although more than one BBC person has told me they
think it still is NICAM for FM distribution.


The equipment would be getting on a bit by now. ;-) The department that
designed and had such things made was axed many years ago. But it could
be possible.


The people who designed FM are probably also now all dead. :-)
