BBC would like to minimise the number of formats supported across live
and listen again. BBC are also moving over to a new platform 

HLS was used because Apple didn't support Flash.  Once the BBCiPlayer
app for iOS & Safari support DASH - then HLS could go away.

The blog entry about the move of BBCiPlayer to HTML5 and DASH highlights
the same benefits and issues facing Radio (i.e. iOS and Safari limited
media support)
