Was listening to BBC 6 Music today and now...nothing. Neither the Wiim BBC Radio Music Service option nor the direct Internet stream works. Worryingly the Internet stream simply says "gone" when inserted into my Web browser.

I know the BBC is pushing everyone to BBC sounds but this isn't integrated into the wiim app which is a problem....

Anyone experiencing the same issue?

Has anyone got a working URL for BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra?

I did have it working before on the network stream but I've been an ID 10 T and overwritten the preset. I thought I had saved the URL on my PC, but ... :mad:

But it’s not entirely doom and gloom as they can still listen live - it’s just catchup they’re losing. I do appreciate that makes listening problematic in different time zones

That link excludes Radio 3 even for live… The UK and BBC are absolutely free to do what they please, but restricting their digital content worldwide may not be in their best interest. It is odd that it is the source restricting content, usually it is the receiving country that establishes barriers.

This link suggests it should be available viz.

“Whilst the BBC Radio 4 and BBC World Service English live streams remain available via BBC.com and the BBC app, other BBC stations – such as our music stations (Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3, 6 Music, 1Xtra, Asian Network), Radio 4Xtra and 5Live as well as all the BBC's stations from the UK nations and every local radio station in England – can still be streamed live via the links below.”

BBC Sport app.
I’m in Uk not “overseas” but I clicked where indicated to see and it tried to open a YouTube channel where subscription is required. Just for reference.
