Re: [Swprograms] BBCWS Web Site

["Mark J. Fine" <mark.fine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's the interesting part tho. Given the state of technology, the WS has been mostly relegated to low-budget news programming itself. If I want a variety of BBC programming (what it used to be), I could easily listen to any one of Radio 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 live, 6 music, or one of the 'extra' channels using TuneIn as well. When 5 live blocks out a game I want to hear due to rights restrictions, I can still grab it from TalkSport using the same tech.

The BBC regards its news site as a for-profit venture outside of the UK, so they separated the radio content and schedule information from the news site...so we see ads when we check out the news online, but we don't when we check out the programming.

Nonsensical, perhaps, but it's how things are these days...

I think you're getting towards the real answer, in that the radio web site is fairly irrelevant unless you're looking for on-demand content. If I want the BBC, I either use Sirius in the car, or the TuneIn app on my phone or tablet. Other than that, I only check their site for news or (that "other") football scores/stats.
