The BBC Radio Sounds App restricting to just UK based people later this month feels very much like something from @greatdismal.bsky.social jackpot An isolationist move that has global ripples.

I am still sad about this. The richness of BBC Sounds app was poking about and finding weird plays or science shows about radio animal autopsies. Weird stuff that brought joy.

You'll still be able to listen live to the BBC radio stations via the links on this info/FAQ page (which is also in the BBC app, Audio>AudioFAQs section; appstore links in the article) -- scroll down for the station list www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Yes, I have explored the links/App and it’s a much more currated experience, and it doesn’t have the breadth and ease of BBC Sounds. After 25 years of listening to the BBC overseas this is a huge and saddening shift. There was a cultural reach that the BBC achieved overseas & connection for Brits.
