The reason the BBC give for this, you may be interested to know, is that people
listen to music on Radio 3, whereas on Radio 1 and 2, it's just on a "background". This may, of course, be pure BBC "snobbery"; the practical reason is that there isn't the bandwidth on the BBC's multiplexer to transmit all the stations at the same bandwidth as R3.
