BBC are changing all there encoding yes, They have also introduced "BBC Radio HD" which is currently on only one of there stations, might be Radio 2 not sure. Im sure they will introduce this onto there Radio 1 soon, basically its just a much higher bitrate when listening to the Radio so you get that crystal clear HD-like sound.
