You could look at VPNs to the UK, to access the full Sounds website (app perhaps trickier); some are blocked by the BBC, so you might need to try several to find one that works

Sports commentary can be restricted to UK if the BBC doesn't have international rights. You could look at VPNs to the UK, to access the full Sounds website; some are blocked by the BBC, so you might need to try several to find one that works

@redsolver.dev I'm using #skyfeedback regex to find posts with radio & bbc, but when a matching post is a reply, the feed sometimes shows the preceeding post/thread too -- is there a way of omitting that context? (Bsky search doesn't show it, but the feed is more stable). My feed is SFradiobbc

A comment on "the other stations aren't in the BBC app" : they are there, in the AudioFAQs

Yes, UK-only now. However, I've seen someone say that if they use the browser 'back' button on the 404 page, they can then play the programme. Doesn't work for me, but worth a shot

It should still have worked with wifi though *shrug*

Another suggestion: when abroad, if you use roaming mobile data, instead of e.g. the hotel wifi, the BBC servers should see you as being in the UK

How to listen to BBC Radio outside the UK If you're a fan of BBC Radio 4, or BBC Radio 2, or even BBC Radio Leeds, here's how to listen

Just published: How to listen to BBC Radio overseas

And, some FAQs answered, and why they shut it down in the first place.

Most interestingly, I learn: 4.8mn people a week use BBC Sounds inside the UK. Just 320,000 people a week used BBC Sounds outside the UK.

I think, as Greg said, complex international rights issues, around music. Listening on-demand at a time that suits you will need a VPN now

@dannykellywords.bsky.social There are appstore links for "the BBC app" on this page, see below. But if your appstore account is still set to UK, try delete & reinstall the Sounds app, might get it going again for a few weeks; if that works, repeat as necessary...
