Pronouncing the unpronounceable

Has anyone else noticed how frequently and with what merry relish BBC Radio 3 announcers are saying Jiří Bĕlohlávek? (Chief Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra just in case you were wondering.) I think they’re so thrilled to have (pretty much) mastered the pronunciation that they just can’t help themselves.
