The BBC is currently turning down a range of Freedom of Information enquiries about the costs, rationale and impact of removing live radio streams from the TuneIn platform. You and I might think this was a straightforward commercial decision, about sharing data and information, but apparently it's all held for reasons of  "journalism, art or literature".

Fearless distribution boss Kieran Clifton might like to revisit TuneIn. The naughty boys still have a range of BBC stations, three months after the Clifton closedown. They include most BBC Local Radio stations, the World Service (in a number of variants), and many BBC language services. Presumably Mr Clifton doesn't intend to involve them in his data mining and personalisation revolution.
