A poster on the digitalspy.co.uk radio forum noticed that on the Chris
Moyles show they are playing a trail including "In the future you'll
be able..........music on demand....Listen to radio at 128K/bps!"

It seems to be referring to the BBC Integrated Media Player they have
been trialling. From the press release about the trials which ended in
December, the player also has an EPG:

iMP is based on the BBC's highly successful RadioPlayer, which lets
viewers listen again to a selection of the BBC's radio programmes for
up to seven days after broadcast. The BBC's integrated Media Player
(iMP) is a new application in development which will allow users to
download tv and radio programmes from bbc.co.uk to their PC or laptop
and watch or listen to them for seven days after the transmission
date. The pilot will use digital rights management software to delete
programmes seven days after the programme has aired on TV and users
will no longer be able to watch it. DRM also prevents users emailing
the files to other computer users or sharing it via disc. The iMP
pilot will use peer to peer distribution technology (P2P) to
distributes its audio visual content effectively and Geo-IP technology
to restrict iMP to UK internet users only.
