Anyone know why itunes BBC radio is not working?

For the last 24 hours none of the BBC radio stations seem to be working through itunes. They are still working on WMP, anyone have any ideas or experiencing the same thing?

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't tried that but I did and no change.


I have tried both links, it looks like the AAC link has been disabled outside the UK as using a proxy allows it to work again.


Really not sure why they would do this when all the other feeds are still active. I am guessing all will disappear in time to be replaced by a pay service or only available to UK residents.

I think I first noticed the failure on Monday (14 Oct) around midday UTC. It was on

Radio 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5live (and perhaps others I didn't test). The world service feed

still works fine. I was in Chicago at the time but subsequently have seen the same

behavior in Ann Arbor and Washington DC.


I sent a complaint to the BBC and finally got a reply a few minutes ago. It was useless.

The person paid no attention to the fact that I wasn't using their iPlayer and simply

told me that there are sometimes rights restrictions on sporting events. I haven't

decided whether to pursue it furtherwith them since it's incredibly difficult to file a

report through their website. Sigh.

This is getting on my nerves now! The only piece of sanity I have in the cutural void gone, even British Radio in app store won't stream Beeb. Capitol, Classic stream fine.

Must be licencing tiff!

I have iPlayer for TV so really should be able to access radio.

Messaging Beeb for a work around.

Getting sick to the "Core" of these defeating Apple updates.

BBC iPlayer Radio "NOT" available in Canada from app store.
