Why will some radio programmes be available first on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Sounds after broadcast?

Since we launched Ö÷²¥´óÐã Sounds we’ve had a number of podcasts either availableÌýfirst, or only, on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Sounds, giving listeners easy access to them on the Ö÷²¥´óÐã’s own digital platform.

We have also madeÌýa small number of our radio programmes available for on-demand listening first on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Sounds. We want more people to use Sounds to listen to their favourite Ö÷²¥´óÐã audio, and to easily discover more content from the Ö÷²¥´óÐã.

These radio programmes will be available to stream onÌýÖ÷²¥´óÐã Sounds via the website, mobile/tablet app TV app and onÌýsmart speakers. They can also be downloaded via the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Sounds mobile/tablet app.Ìý

The programmes can then be downloaded on our website, and made available to listen on other platforms aÌýmonth after they are first on Sounds.
