Default Re: Radio broadcast sample rate

Is there any sample rate standard for radio broadcast files? I'm pretty sure it's the MP3s that are being used for broadcast so 44.1 makes sense to me. But I've seen radio masters that are 48K so I thought I'd put this out for comments.

Thanks,

The BBC in the UK require 44.1k 16 bit. As radio stations play a lot of CDs which are at 44.1 it makes sense for them to run at 44.k but some run their playout systems at 48k.
