BBC stations not featuring on Radioplayer Station List

19 replies

As of this week, I have not been able to access BBC radio stations on the Radioplayer service. When I look at the A-Z Station List, there are no BBC stations listed. They are listed on the Radioplayer website. Am I the only person with this problem? Is there any way to get the BBC stations back?

I would switch to BBC Sounds, but it does not appear to be possible to add stations to “My Sonos” using the Android S1 phone app.

Me also but I found out today that BBC Sounds can now be listened to directly on SONOS. Just needs adding as a “Service”. I presume this is why it has been systematically removed from Radioplayer. It’s good quality and displays track names and album art. Good stuff

I have the same problem using S1 so you are not on your own. In addition whilst it seems possible to add to My Radio shows (evidenced by the fact that it won't allow a second addition) “My Radio Shows” do not seem to be on any menu.

Same here – Lost BBC stations via Radioplayer earlier this week. I’ve reconfigured my alarms to use myTuner. I hope it’s something that will resolve itself as it connects (for me) much more quickly...

Thanks Clouseaux - that’s great. Having access to the personalisation of my BBC Sounds account is a real bonus (and it solves the Radioplayer query).

I can’t add a station from BBC Sounds to My Sonos. Does anyone else have that problem?

Are you in the UK? Your profile doesn’t say, and the BBC has region restricted it.

Assuming you’re replying to me ( thank you!), yes I’m in the UK.

Indeed, I was. Since you are in the UK, and if BBC sounds isn’t appearing for you, I’d suggest logging in to your account on www.Sonos.com, and ensuring that your address is stored in the account properly, as Sonos does use that country information to filter what is presented to you when you ‘add a music service’.

However, if you’re merely having issues adding a single station to ‘My Sonos’, I’m afraid someone else will need to chime in, I don’t use that aspect of the system, so I’m unfamiliar with it.

I also had this issue initially; I solved it by playing the station or content, they tapping on the ellipsis on the playing screen (not sure what else to call that?!), from where I was able to add it to My Sonos. Hopefully it’ll work for you also.

This is a bug or a feature... who knows!

It isn't possible to save Sounds stations to My Sonos.
