OT Live Streaming Radio 4 News

[Budgie]

Please forgive the OT.  Most mornings I listen to Radio 4 using a 
networked Linn device which I also use to play my GiP recordings.  The 
Linn device offers various radio channels directly so I do not need to 
use GiP.

On several occasions recently the news stream has been interrupted and 
all I get is a recorded loop telling me that "due to rights restrictions 
the programme is not available."

Rights restrictions on the News???  Before 08:00!!!  What is going on 
here.  Is the problem with BBC or Linn?
