Can't say I've noticed myself. I'm not sure what gives you
that impression. I'm well short of 50 and find the station
very acceptable. I also know I'm not alone in being a well
under 50 listener - as well as some local large businesses
having the station on through their Tannoy systems.

Yes. For example they're the only music station available to
patients in Walsall Manor Hospital. Which was annoying.
