The system stopped playing radio stations of YLE in Finland March 20th late in the afternoon

I have listened to radio stations of YLE in Finland ( under myTuner). Could do this 20th in the morning,

but late in the afternoon  these stopped to work.  What has happened? Some other local stations as well as the Swedish radio work normally.

Hey @Jukka Hautala, welcome to the community.

 

We’re aware of the issues affecting Yle group stations causing them to not being able to play via certain radio services.

The Finnish radio group Yle announced in a public FAQ (Finnish only) that they had switched from the WMA format to the AAC format via ICY distribution.

The change, which took place on March 10, 2021, causes that outdated entries for radio aggregators like myTuner Radio and radio.net lead to playback errors on Sonos.

Radio aggregators like TuneIn (incl. Sonos Radio) and Global Player are not affected as they do only offer a single station from Yle which is functional: Yle Klassinen.

We are working with our partners to get an updated radio station catalog but have no further information to share at this time.

Hello James,
 

Tested these YLE channels. Works now for some of these. Listening to these channels works for me with myTuner & Sonos.

 

The ones I can't get working are YLE Vega and its local sub-channels. All of the other YLE channels seem to work as I tested.
