Not being a uk resident I can’t get or use their app. Is there another way to play Listen Again shows from their website other than Air2 which keeps dropping speakers (I have 7 symfonisks)?

Hi
Upon checking, there are several BBC Radio stations on Sonos Radio. You check in other music services in the Sonos app if the station is available.
1. Tune-In
2. Global Player
3. Radio.com
4. Radio.net
5. Radioplayer
6. Absolute Radio
You can also try to add the streaming URL in the Sonos app. First, you need to contact the station you wish to add directly is often the easiest way of finding the Streaming URL. Just make sure the stream is of one of the compatible formats; MP3, AAC or WMA.
Using the Sonos App for iOS or Android:
- From the Browse tab, select Radio by TuneIn
- Tap My Radio Stations
- Tap the three dots in the top right and tap Add New Radio Station
- Enter the Streaming URL and Station Name and tap OK
Let us know how it goes, please be sure to let us know. We'll wait for your reply.
Hi Rowena, I have done all this and am successfully listening to LIVE BBC Radio, without any issue at all. What I am trying to achieve here is a bit different, I am trying to listen to old shows, in their ‘listen again’ section as per https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00zqcjv/episodes/player
or
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/genres/drama/crime/player
Any ideas? I’d be SO happy if I could pull this off.
Thank you!
