Has anyone seen any news of the BBC broadcasting again in lossless format again?

Well they broadcast the whole 2017 Proms season in what they call Radio 3 Concert Sound, which is lossless. Dunno whether that's going to be extended.

I wouldn't expect anything until the 2018 proms, and maybe not then. Keep an eye on the minimstreamer forum.

From that Beeb link:

"Whilst we currently have no plans to launch any service using lossless compression, data from this pilot will inform future strategy."

Probably answers the question...
