hello

I listen to BBC Radio off the internet.
As to which stations it depends on the day of the week and the time of day.
Sunday is Radio Cumbria, Radio Kent, Radio Lincolnshire, Radio Stoke and
Radio Wales.

Asking for location makes no sense to me. it is all to create the
illusion that the BBC is doing something to get people to purchase TV
Licence.

They would not have an issue if they would just figure out how to
allow non-UK residents pay a subscription fee for the BBC content. I
know friends in the USA
who pay an obscene amount per month for 500 channels of rubbish. They would
pay £50.00 per month for the BBC easily. BBC America is NOT the BBC.
it was sold off a while ago.
