Audio on BBC news complete and utter garbage

Even on the Six O'clock news the audio is so badly recorded that it is
totally clipped even when I am sampling it at -10dB uncompressed PCM and it
is impossible to recorded it in mp3 at anything below 192kbps without
getting horrid compression artefacts resulting from having to recode the
compression artefacts already there.

Can't the BBC do better?

Which audio are you referring to? As the presenter will be 'live'.
And yes, much of this sort of thing is rubbish these days as they no
longer use a qualified sound engineer - if indeed one at all.

All of it. Presenter, feeds, the whole lot.
