Thread Name: Tech: BBC service removal?
Subject: Tech: BBC service removal?
Listening to the excellent 'Feedback' programme on Radio 4 the other day, I heard some worrying news, which I cannot see on BBC platforms.
It sounded to me like BBC radio is discontinuing access to all non-UK countries of all their radio services except Radio 4 and World Service? There are some exceptions for UK people travelling/holidaying abroad but all other stations will not be available from Spring this year (ie very soon).
This appears to include the NATIONAL stations for Wales and Scotland as well as all regional UK stations. As a lot of mudcat folk are avid listeners to the musical content of Radio 2, Alba etc, maybe non UK residents are in for a surprise? There is contradictory techspeak about all this & BBC content may be available somehow, but it is not clear to me. Any news, anyone, the BBC appear to be keeping a low profile here- am I totally wrong?
