I was initially tempted to raise the matter myself on the BBC Internet Blog but decided against doing so as it might prompt the BBC to take action to stop the RTMP on-demand streams earlier than they might do otherwise. It is currently our only source if 320 kbps Radio 3 Listen Again. I realise that for some people that is of little consequence and regard it as a minor issue but there are others for whom the Radio 3 320 kbps is of major importance. I would strongly discourage you from challenging Andrew Scott over the continued existence of the RTMP LA streams, whether or not they are still used by the BBC's browser client.
