Q: My radio is suddenly "not available in this country"

I used to listen frequently to the radio but now the only thing that plays is "This radio station is not available in your country". For almost ALL of the radio stations, except some of south america. I looked online for streaming but it says the same. Can I or Apple fix this or does Europe suddenly not like Canada?  It plays for maybe an hour then suddenly goes away...

    Perhaps if you said which stream we could see if we can get it.

     

    I don't use iTunes for radio but I know with some streams they are country restricted.  There was one I used to listen to but it clearly states it is only available for users in that country. If they play music then it is probably really subject to media distribution restrictions.

    Thanks for the reply, I listen to ABC lounge radio, its in France, I went online though and looked at other radios and most of them in the France, UK and Italy areas are not available. Do you think there is a new line of distribution restrictions? Thats why it stopped all of a sudden?
