Do you know how they do this? Are they blocking the IP addresses of  known VPN 
servers in the UK?

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 secrets podcast, an 
earlier episode.

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.
