Flor, Thanks for the information re VPN.

It's unfortunate but we'll get by as there alternatives out there for sure.

Yes we'll mist the listen on demand, rewind/fast forward facilities byut there a number of radio apps where you can do just that and many BBC radio programmes can be scheduled to download to them.

BBC Sounds still rworks on my Alexa speaker bgbut for how long who knows, a statement rather than a question.

Tunein doesn't work on Alexa for BBC Radio and as for the app don't think so.

I live in Ireland for anyone for relevsncy for anyone who doesn't know.

    The app (outside of the UK) worked over VPN since Monday, but now
    as of today it no longer does. I suspect that there's been an app
    update to BBC Sounds that applies from the UK App Store only.

        Kathy, the ban started on Monday 21st July. However as you've
        found out, some programs, especially some podcasts are still
        available outside the UK. Personally I think the BBC are
        making a big mistake by doing this.

            Did this just start today? I was able to hear the world of

            The BBC Sounds app officially stopped working for anyone
            not living in the UK as of yesterday.

            However, most of their radio stations are still available
            through apps like TuneIn Radio. It is just the programs
            that were part of the BBC Sounds. that are no longer
            available, like their radio dramas, comedy shows, and
            book! being read on air.

            They offer the BBC app as an alternative, but it is mostly
            news and little audio that I could figure out.

            I just thought some might like to know.
