Why will some radio programmes be available first on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Sounds after broadcast?

Since we launched ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Sounds we’ve had a number of podcasts either availableÌýfirst, or only, on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Sounds, giving listeners easy access to them on the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳’s own digital platform.

We have also madeÌýa small number of our radio programmes available for on-demand listening first on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Sounds. We want more people to use Sounds to listen to their favourite ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ audio, and to easily discover more content from the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳.

These radio programmes will be available to stream onÌý³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Sounds via the website, mobile/tablet app TV app and onÌýsmart speakers. They can also be downloaded via the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Sounds mobile/tablet app.Ìý

The programmes can then be downloaded on our website, and made available to listen on other platforms aÌýmonth after they are first on Sounds.
