Why will some radio programmes be available first on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds after broadcast?

Since we launched ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds we’ve had a number of podcasts either availableÌýfirst, or only, on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds, giving listeners easy access to them on the ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s own digital platform.

We have also madeÌýa small number of our radio programmes available for on-demand listening first on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds. We want more people to use Sounds to listen to their favourite ´óÏó´«Ã½ audio, and to easily discover more content from the ´óÏó´«Ã½.

These radio programmes will be available to stream onÌý´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds via the website, mobile/tablet app TV app and onÌýsmart speakers. They can also be downloaded via the ´óÏó´«Ã½ 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.
