Come to Germany and you'll see how enormously grateful I am for the BBC. Whatever do you have in mind, that could be even comparable to them?
I used to listen on longwave after the demise of the British forces' BFBS. You can't think what a great change podcasts and streeams have made to my listening.

I sympathise. In continental Europe on FM the only classical music radio was re-broadcasts for Radio 3 concerts and nothing in Germany

-- Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early twenty-first century?s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally average temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.

?? Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France; those are the ones I know; they all have at least one national radio station with classical music.
(And at least until recently all on FM, now maybe DAB+, I don't know.)

I neither need nor want music on radio, although I agree that if it can't be avoided classic is better than most. BBC Radio 4 is all about content delivered through the spoken word. Not everything is to my taste or interest, bit enough to make hard sometinmes to keep up with listening to all the podcasts and recordings coming in.

Interesting, I gather you're talking about this:
However I don't know of any such regulations in Australia and the ABC hides their internet radio links too. I don't even want to build my own internet radio with them - I just want to paste them into XMMS running on my PC and press play. It's no more technical than viewing the webpage where they tell you to use their smart phone app instead.
Their URLs have been known to change too, of course.

That's fine if you want to listen to Globalist Left-wing propaganda and nothing else. Personally I can't bear it.
You must be joking. When I was living in Germany ISTR there was no shortage of classical music on both TV and radio. De Radio Kultur did a lot of it (that's the only station name I can remember as it was a good few years ago).
Yes indeed, but *nothing* the BBC has to offer, I'm sorry to say.

He was one of the numerous and varied legion of dullards, of half-animate abortions, conceited, half-educated coxcombs who attach themselves to the idea most in fashion, only to vulgarise it and who caricature every cause they serve, however sincerely."

Ahh, thanks! Was just listening to the Blues Show on BBC Radio 2 (old link), and got the dreaded "22 March" message for the first time. I just tried your revised link and it works fine.
The way I'm reading all the stuff on the BBCSounds help, though, I'm wondering if it will *keep* working after 22 March! They talk about providing "authorized providers" with an "API key". Know anything about that?
Thanks,

Not sure who "you" is in your answer. In this thread I'm exclusively speaking about radio, i.e. the spoken word, while several others are going on about music.
Music, specifically classic music is by definition old and can come from anywhere like a deceased relative's record collection. Radio is valuable for its currently relevant content and must be received now. That's where differences in quality come in. Anyone can put on records.
