Maybe ClassicFM have realised that some of their listeners might actually want to listen to music rather than have CFM and it's mindless car insurance ads as background music:

It says "Hear Here! - the UK’s first classical music project dedicated to listening ...." eh, what has BBC Radio 3 been doing for about 40 years?

If listeners want to listen to just music why do they not tune in to Radio 3? OK, there's the BBC trailers and arts progs but R3 IS mainly music!

If anyone has a radio tuned to classic fm, I secretly re-tune it to Radio 3.  I just can't listen to Classic FM.  There's something so Hyacinth Bucket about it.
