"In other words, if you're at a so-called 'economically advantaged' stage in your life (ie you're a highly experienced working adult aged 34-50 and you don't belong to some kind of minority or disadvantaged group), you're screwed. The BBC won't cater to you. You're part of a 'commercially valuable audience' which needs to be handed over to broadcasters who have lots of adverts lined up for you and who need to take advantage of the fact you have cash in your pocket. There'll be no commercial-free public service radio and television for you. That's for the economically weak -- pensioners, students, children, and the otherwise unemployed -- with whom commercial broadcasters don't want to waste their time.
Oh but you should of course continue to pay your full license fee for the benefit of others." (londonsupergirl)

It really doesn't make any sense. I was wondering if another reason why they have decided to 'probably' dump BBC6 Music and the Asian network could be that they can up the bitrate on the DAB multiplex by a smidgeon?
The whole rationale seems very peculiar,,,,

Always an interesting site which explains the background to the current mess
