When I'm in Bangkok, I listen to a radio station that plays pop music and BBC news in English twice an hour, I think. Is there something like that on the FM dial in Chiang Mai? Not interested in shortwave. I live in CM most of the time.

Look up ThaiExpatTV. It's TVo nly, but about 12 british channels, 5 BBC

runs on the internet and much cheaper than a TV subscription/cable service

Is it downloadable? The problem with live TV is that prime time in the UK is stupid o'clock in the morning here in Thailand!

I'm the OP. Did any of you read the question? I'm looking for BBC on FM radio. Yes, TV and the internet are wonderful. Zippity-do! Sorry for the negativity, but if you don't know, you don't need to respond.

no. only CBS news American is on 98.5 FM but it's only 5 minutes 2X per hour and is old news (yesterday's news). internet has many BBC options. i used to enjoy BBC in depth news reporting 2X per day in Europe but not available here.

Thanks, Oscar2, for a simple, direct, concise response to a simple question.

I think the other posters were trying to be helpful providing you or other forum users with information about receiving BBC radio (albeit not specifically via FM radio). Whether you choose to read them is entirely upto you but scolding them like a naughty schoolboy is downright bad manners when they have gone out of their way to post. FWIW the internet would enable to you to receive all the BBC radio channels via FM radio although obviously i am not going to post anything further about this topic now. Hopefully your bad attitude will ensure you get zero helpful answers to your future questions.

So why couldn't I listen to The Ashes even though I pay a BBC license?

couldn't agree more. they dont have the PL commentaries either. but the other output is excellent; five live and radio 6

The BBC only holds the internet radio broadcast rights for certain events (premiership football commentary, the ashes, etc) for the uk

When the BBC website detects that you are in a country that it doesn't have the broadcast rights to (I.e. Thailand) it will prevent you from listening to the program

I'm guessing as the Ashes were in Australia then an Australian broadcaster was controlling the worldwide rights and only sold the BBC the U.k broadcast rights

You can get live commentary on every PL game through the Talksport Live app (outside Europe only).

If you use one of the free VPN providers, you can circumvent the BBC radio broadcast rights problems.

For years (?) FM radio 100.3 here in Chiang Mai would provide BBC news and other programing at 6 in the morning. But since about 2 weeks ago--maybe the first of the year--this has not been the case.

I have to say I miss it. I had my clock radio set so I could listen to the news headlines for 5 or 10 minutes, and then roll over for a bit more sleep.

re

With a smartphone and 3G connection you can use it as a radio with the free BBC app and it will play on connected bluetooth devices like car systems too. Nice to be able to listen to Today on Radio 4 at lunchtime and decent quality drama too.

yes, I read the question and I responded with the best known solution.

Up to you.

Why don't you just get a different radio.

This is not for the OP but for others.....I use my smartphone connected to my home sound system and use TuneIn Radio Pro....live access to every UK Radio Station in digital stereo. You can also record to play back later.

In addition, I connect it to my car stereo by bluetooth using the mobile network to listen to my favourite shows live on the move in the car.

Can't remember the last time I used a "wireless"! ;-)
