I'm not too sure about your saying 'so-called' mainstream. The BBC is as much of a global brand as McDonalds, I would say.
Otherwise, as ever, big fan of your posts, more power (etc).

Not to rain on your parade but almost every European state-funded radio network has or has had a third or second channel dedicated to more 'pensive' stuff like classical music. In Italy we have Radio 3, which is pretty much the same thing as the Radio 3 you get in England, and I think it started broadcasting this type of music before it too. As far as I know it's still that way. Really, nothing new there.
