The broadcast wave file is basically a standard wave file with additional

can read it, although it may not necessarily preserve the additional

information (which contains stuff like the title, for instance). The

whole
purpose of the broadcast wave format was compatibility with the older

software.

Hmmm. I downloaded a sample bwf from the net and it had a .wav extension.
Sound Forge would not open it, but Windows Media Player played it.

Was it 24-bit or of a higher sample rate than SF could handle?
