Meanwhile, the BBC has also announced it’s putting BBC News behind a paywall in the US. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/jun/26/bbc-usa-paid-subscription-news?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
The Sounds links in the post above are odd. Is the plan there for users to have to deep link into the Sounds page? Weird.
In a nutshell, we get to keep (in the end 😉 ) mostly all BBC LIVE Radio streams (which is the subject of this gist), but without access to radio station schedules (at least on Sounds):
Please note that the BBC Sounds schedule pages for each of the stations listed above will not be available outside the UK.
and if you missed the LIVE broadcast of your favourite programme, chances are you won't be able to catch up on demand 👎 (after July 21st, that is) :
While many programmes are available on-demand on bbc.com/BBC app, not all BBC radio content will be available for on-demand listening.
Do note that all "on-demand" content currently available in bbc.com/audio is in the form of "podcasts" (i.e. not "Listen Again") and those podcasts have been generated from initial R4/WSR content (i.e. mostly "talk-radio") ...
So, basically, the "heads" at the BBC are cutting off the non-UK world from Sounds' Listen Again (full show) Audio-On-Demand service, hitherto available at reduced (96/48) bitrates (and excluding UK-only content, e.g. sports coverage); how much cost savings will that generate to justify the overseas block 😡 ? Or is it, really, that they're geo-fencing AOD because they can't insert ads in it for overseas audiences?
Which brings the next question: Will they be inserting ads (after 2025/07/21) in the LIVE radio streams "we" get to keep after all? The linked article is quite cryptic:
Following the closure of the BBC Sounds product outside the UK on 21 July 2025, we have made alternative arrangements for listeners to continue accessing BBC radio stations internationally.
So, have the "rights holders" been convinced (by the BBC) to continue allowing/"tolerating" overseas access to BBC Radio (even to "music" stations) but only in its LIVE form (and not in its AOD one)? Doesn't make much sense to me here, but what do I know?
small rant
Me thinks the heads at the BBC are desperate to show to backbenchers they're indeed doing their best to effectively reduce the BBC's financial burden on UK tax-payers, and international AOD was a perfect/easy victim in their scheme (Look! We DID make CUTS! All this saved bandwidth "free-loaders" were consuming will balance the scales once again at the Beeb; saved costs will be forwarded towards "better serving" UK users!); mind you, their initial plan to block all live radio except for R4+WSR would've gone ahead if it weren't for "loud" reactions from expat communities and/or Irish audiences...
BBC Sounds (on bbc.co.uk) is absolutely fine for the BBC to do, since it is nominally targeted at the UK and doesn't contain any advertising. That's why we have access to it now, and will (oddly) still have access to it. Live radio (public service live radio) has always been this way.
The international bit of the BBC is tasked with making as much money as it can, so ads on everything. This isn't a "saving money" thing, it's a "slapping ads on everything" thing.
Put those stations on BBC.com, with advertising and targeted outside the UK, and the rights holders (the record companies, mostly) want some money.
they're geo-fencing AOD because they can't insert ads in it for overseas audiences?
I think you've got it there.
It looks as if the deal with TuneIn (which I had confirmed from a few BBC contacts) has fallen through, therefore. The idea there was to let TuneIn handle subscription fees, music rights, etc.
As I've said elsewhere (with a nod to Douglas Adams): It's simple! In order to listen to BBC Radio 6 Music after 21 July, you need to visit an FAQ page, scroll down, and find the list of live radio stations in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard".
[OT]As promised, BBC AOD today has been blocked for overseas listeners :-(
... Well, today is July 21st 2025 (17:15Z at this time), the day that will "live in infamy" as the day BBC AOD (radio catch-up) service was blocked 👎 for overseas audiences, after being available for ca. 20yrs; the programmes API appears to be still accessible, e.g.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002fs43 (28 days left to listen)
... but when one clicks on the Listen now button, a redirection takes place to:
https://www.bbc.com/audio/play/m002fs43
... which yields a 404 error:
image
FWIW, I'd have expected BBC to have been more frank in their statements 😞 ; "the page I was looking for" is
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002fs43
and the claim "they're not able to find it" is just a lie 😡 ; they could have said:
the requested audio content is no longer available in your current location
I'll be monitoring closely, for the next few days, what has/will be further changed under the hood with regards to BBC-radio-catch-up; please refrain from publicly posting about ways to circumvent these latest BBC geo-blocks; if you do, expect the Beeb to tighten up even more their geo-blocking schemes...
With regards to BBC Live Radio and its continued overseas accessibility, I can confirm that today, July 21st 2025, I can successfully stream, e.g., R2 via its Sounds page,
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live/bbc_radio_two
as I could yesterday; notice the changed wording on the banner, though:

For the henceforth inaccessible https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/schedules/* pages, one can use the corresponding https://www.bbc.co.uk/schedules/* ones, though it's not so easy to track down each station's scheduleID 😞 (but Google can help...); for R2, it's:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/schedules/p00fzl8v
(or even: https://www.bbc.co.uk/schedules/p00fzl8v/2025/w30)
At least for me here in germany, the lstn.lv domain no longer has an A record:

Just wanted to leave a thanks to those who are updating this content. I live in San Francisco and missed listening to the BBC Radio. These references to the streams are excellent and I decided to build a simple web app so I could record the streams and reply them in my local time zone.

This is great, thanks for posting. I have a service running that does something similar: https://github.com/zenodotus280/BBC-Radio-Relay
I have been wanting to rewrite as a more generic backend using Liquidsoap, Docker, and a configurable UI for a while now but it looks like I don't have to and can archive my repo :D

... And so is this gist 👍 , which was updated accordingly yesterday:
Perfect, thank you..
The "lsn.lv" urls are not working with VLC in UK now. (They previously did.) The "as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net" seem to be working okay.
The "lsn.lv" urls are not working with VLC in UK now. (They previously did.) The "as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net" seem to be working okay.
The BBC Radio 3 link: http://lsn.lv/bbcradio.m3u8?station=bbc_radio_three&bitrate=320000 is working for me in VLC, foobar2000 & Volumio 3 for me at the now [13:37 06/08/2025
They are working for me too now! I wonder if there was an outage or whether it was finger trouble this end. I have changed all my links to the akamaised ones now. I will leave them there. (These are presets in the Internet Radio plugin for zynthian beat box.)
Oops! I hadn't updated from lstn to lsn. It now works but Radio 5 Sports Extra is still wrong, as previously reported. The URL should be:
http://lsn.lv/bbcradio.m3u8?station=bbc_radio_five_live_sports_extra&bitrate=96000&uk=1.
in UK now.
Theas-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net
UK users are kindly requested to switch to/use the UK-exclusive (Akamai) links, which are reserved for UK audiences and are 403'd for overseas users; e.g., for BBC R3 consumed within the UK:
http://as-hls-uk-live.akamaized.net/pool_23461179/live/uk/bbc_radio_three/bbc_radio_three.isml/bbc_radio_three-audio=320000.norewind.m3u8
For BBC World Service inside the UK, see this 😉 ...
but Radio 5 Sports Extra is still wrong
That's because the stream is exclusive to the UK, due to various sports rights that prohibit international availability...
The BBC Radio 3 link:
http://lsn.lv/bbcradio.m3u8?station=bbc_radio_three&bitrate=320000
OTOH, overseas users are kindly asked to limit themselves to (96000 | 48000) bps audio bitrates, because that is what the Beeb reserves for international audiences (on Sounds pages); we've just been spared, us overseas BBC Live Radio users, don't give "them" extra justification for "things" to change for the worse 😉 ...
but Radio 5 Sports Extra is still wrong
That's because the stream is exclusive to the UK, due to various sports rights that prohibit international availability...
No, it is because it was missing its &uk=1 suffix. I see that @bpsib has fixed this now - thanks!
If we should only be using akamized feeds in UK and only lsn feeds outside UK, and we should only be using limited range of bitrates, should this be stated in the top post? I wonder how many people will read every comment in this gist if they have found what works for them from the main content?
That's because the stream is exclusive to the UK
No, it is because it was missing its &uk=1 suffix.
Not "No" but "Yes" 😜 ; the &uk=1 suffix at the end of a lsn.lv stream URI will yield a CDN-based stream URI for consumption within the UK and accessible ONLY from a pool of BBC-whitelisted UK IP addresses; if the lsn.lv stream URI (without the suffix) doesn't work (but streams for other stations do), this is an indication that the stream may be geo-fenced to the UK only (other reasons may also be involved when a lsn.lv stream URI fails to play);
If we should only be using
akamizedfeeds in UK and onlylsnfeeds outside UK
No, this is NOT what I wrote and, respectfully, my above post wasn't given the proper attention it deserved 😞 ...
Akamai is a global CDN company and serves both the UK (with UK-exclusive servers) and overseas (with global servers, that "happen" to also work from within the UK); the international/overseas Akamai servers have -ww- in their domain names and the corresponding URIs have the /ww/ subfolder, whereas the UK-exclusive servers have -uk- in their domain names and the corresponding URIs have the /uk/ subfolder; "lsn.lv feeds" will generate the UK or global version of an Akamai-delivered live audio stream based on the absence or existence of the &uk=1 URL query string parameter at the end; e.g.
global lsn.lv feed for R1:
http://lsn.lv/bbcradio.m3u8?station=bbc_radio_one&bitrate=96000 =>
UK-exclusive lsn.lv feed for R1:
http://lsn.lv/bbcradio.m3u8?station=bbc_radio_one&bitrate=320000&uk=1 =>
@riban-bw, do note that both CDN-based URIs (global+UK) are what you called "akamized feeds"; but, as always, the devil is in the details 😜 ...
When UK-based audiences use the overseas-intended Live Radio streams (because these do work from within the UK), they deprive overseas audiences of available audio bandwidth, when the opposite isn't possible (overseas users can't use the UK-exclusive audio streams) ...
and we should only be using limited range of bitrates,
The BBC have allocated all four available audio bitrates (320k, 128k, 96k.48k) for consumption within the UK, but only the two lower values (96k, 48k) for overseas consumption 😉 ; licence-fee payers are entitled to the higher audio bitrates, non-payers are NOT...
should this be stated in the top post?
The gist maintainer, IIANM, is overseas-based, so the focus has been on the overseas versions of the live audio streams; the fact about audio bitrate availability based on geo-location is already stated prominently "elsewhere" (a well-known audio feed aggregator portal) 😄 :
Cheers.
@Vangelis66 I did read your post carefully but maybe I misunderstood it. Where it says, "UK users are kindly requested to switch to/use the UK-exclusive (Akamai) links", I assumed this meant to use the links with "akamai" in them rather than the links with "lsn". I am still confused on what the recommendation / requirement is.
The Sports Extra link does not work on my device in the UK connected directly to a UK ISP if it is lacking the suffix, "&UK=1". @bpsib seems to concur, having updated the link. There is text at the bottom of the list mentioning the need for the suffix for UK only content but, if it is necessary to make a link work, it makes sense to add it to the link.
from a pool of BBC-whitelisted UK IP addresses
Could this mean that the BBC (or their technology partner) does not recognise the IP address of my UK ISP as being within the UK? Strange that it should allow streaming to the same host by adding the suffix.
wasn't given the proper attention it deserved
I read the post carefully and having read again, come to the same conclusion. No disrespect intended. I just want to understand what is recommended and if I can't comprehend this, then others who may not have English as their first language or are less technically adept may also struggle. I want is all to learn from those with insight and knowledge with minimal scope for confusion or ambiguity.
already stated prominently "elsewhere"
If there isn't a clear statement or link to guidelines for usage, somewhere within the main content of this gist, then many users won't even know of those guidelines and hence are unlikely to use appropriate links, which has the capacity to undermine the usefulness of this gist, e.g. if their usage leads to BBC changes that effect others who use the links correctly. I doubt everyone will read every comment before using the gist.

This is what I want to avoid. I want to hear streams here in the UK and allow my friends around the world the same privilege. I am proud that my contribution to the licence fee supports others' ability to hear this rich and rewarding content.
@bpsib do you want to add a recommendation to the gist regarding use for UK and non-UK resident users? I remain confused as to which to use. I have used the lsn links because of the comment that they may be compatible with more devices and because they are shorter!
Does anyone know a mechanism for determining whether a user is UK based, and hence automatically choosing the appropriate links?
320 kbit/s is also available overseas. I do typically listen to 96 because it sounds fine. Whether you use a as-hls-ww.live.cf.md.bbci.co.uk or as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net or a lsn.lv link, you will get the same data. The lsn.lv is an extra step that will possibly give you an updated Pool if it changes.
It is probably not scalable to as many listeners as they planned to have. (I suspect they don't have that number as people use various apps instead.) Shoutcast comes from one server. It is possible to set up multiple in a round robin fashion. But Akamai already has a distributed network they can rely on without setting up their own. They wait to prepare half a minute of data, hence the latency, and upload to Akamai, which then multiplies across their infrastructure. There is a World Service stream that is 56 kbit/s only.
Yet another shoe has dropped.
BBC podcasts and audio are now available on BBC.com
The links listed seem to redirect to BBC Sounds on the web and the mobile app (at least until 21 July 2025 for me in the States). One wonders where they'll go when the moble apps disappear internationally.
