That's the only explanation for the fact it's used for everything, including weekend shows, now.I expect there are monetary reasons. While I'm not sure of the arrangements that the BBC have with David Lowe, regardless of what they are, it'll be cheaper to use existing music than to commission new stuff. Though such costs aren't likely to be huge, I do wonder if the experimental nature of the new channel's budget has meant certain expenditures have been delayed until after the first year to see how much wriggle room there is in it.
