Another gripe is all the money thrown at digitalisation, BBC sounds etc. combined with the perceived need to change, sorry improve, things every couple of months.
Very disappointed about what has happened to a once national gem.

The BBC used to lead public taste. This policy involves sacrificing short term popularity for long term gains, something which is effectively prevented by the said government meddling. It is a disease of society in general that self-appointed experts know how to do your job better than you do, experience and expertise notwithstanding - and goverments know much more about broadcasting than the BBC. Not.
The BBC Sounds fiasco was little more than a re-brand. Are we offered better quality? No, we aren't, because the money needed to go to FLAC or similar for premium services was spent on the pretty new logos.
