It will, however, still be possible to listen to the World Service and Radio 4 from abroad via the following link instead:

and scroll to bottom.

 

It may also be possible to continue listening to remaining BBC stations from abroad (should one be so inclined) with a VPN - but that remains to be seen, I suspect.

 

Boo !!

Recently discovered BBC Sounds and have a lot of stuff bookmarked, particularly like the Desert Island Discs.

 

Have a Radioplayer app which i use for general radio channels ( select any BBC station and it redirects you to BBC Sounds ) Capital, Absolute, Virgin, Nation and Planet etc and all their different genre stations so a boatload of stuff available …. only the Beeb not playing the game.

BBC are like the Apple of media !
