LBC radio has stopped working in Apple music

The main LBC channel has stopped working and causes issues when you try to load it. the local variants of the channel eg LBC manchester seem to be ok.

if you try to load the main :LBC channel it crashes apple music app on iMac. on iPhone it shows as playing but has no sound.

on HomePod if you ask Siri to play it she says she is is playing "lbc" with no sound. She used to say she was playing "LBC radio from tune in by global". Home pod also seems to activate it on the iPhone with mirroring to HomePod but again no sound on either device.

all very weird and needs fixing for us LBC saddos:)

Agreed. Same problem here. I’m getting to know LBC News very well but Apple HomePod needs to play LBC! So annoying. I as going to buy a second HomePod to stereo pair with my first (and I already have a HomePod Mini upstairs) but they are so buggy!!!

I am having the same problem. At first there was a work around by using LBC Manchester, but for the last 3 days that has gone. You just get silence when you try to play LBC. The app works on my phone, so I am guessing it is a licence issue. Maybe linked to the new iOS update and to do with our data??

Really frustrating!

Somewhat randomly, it appears to have started working again across all of my devices! Would quite like to get an explanation as to what the problem was, lest it recur.
