> Radio 3,BBC Radio Ulster"
> avoid_channels_plex="S4C,BBC Scotland,BBC ALBA,Cbeebies,CBBC"

> Then when I search I could have

> get_iplayer --type=radio,tv  --channel=preferred_channels_plex
> --excludechannel=avoid_channels_plex --since 96

> get_iplayer --type=radio,tv  --excludechannel=avoid_channels_plex
