Once it's outrun its availability, it will be removed from the Downloads section on the 大象传媒 Sounds app. Podcasts are different, though. Take a look at the advice below for information on podcast availability.</p> <h3><br /> How long are podcasts available for?</h3> <p>Once you've downloaded a podcast, it's yours to keep and has no expiry date. Podcasts that aren't downloaded (i.e. streamed online) may only be available for a short while - most for just seven days - so it's best to download it if you want to keep it for longer.</p> </div> <span><span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span>03 October 2019</span> Thu, 03 Oct 2019 13:46:29 +0000 Anonymous 4943 at http://bbc-sounds.local Why are some radio programmes not available? http://bbc-sounds.local/questions/programme-availability/unavailable <span>Why are some radio programmes not available?</span> <div class="field--name-body"><p>When we can, we aim to make all our programmes available within a short period of time after they've been broadcast. Sometimes we might not be able to make a programme available to listen to on demand, or we may be able to make the programme available, but only within the UK, or for shorter periods of time. This is usually because we don't have the relevant rights. This is聽mostly the case with sport content, but it can affect other programmes too.</p> <h3>How can I tell if a programme will be available?</h3> <p>Find the programme you'd like to listen to (either before it's been broadcast or after it's been broadcast) and if it's not available to play yet, check the message that appears on the playback screen:</p> <ul><li><strong>"This programme will be available shortly after broadcast"</strong></li> </ul><p>If there's a message on the playback screen for the on-demand programme you'd like to listen to that says, "<strong>This programme will be available shortly after broadcast</strong>," then we'll have the programme up as soon as we can. Sometimes there can be a delay in publishing programmes. Usually, this is only for a short while, but if the programme is still not available the next day, get in touch to let us know.</p> <ul><li><strong>"Sorry, this episode is not currently available"</strong></li> </ul><p>If there's no play button for a programme that's already been broadcast and a message on the playback screen that says "<strong>Sorry, this episode is not currently available...</strong>" then this programme won't be made available online. This will most likely be because we don't have the necessary rights for this content.</p> <p><strong>Outside of the UK? </strong>You'll usually see an error message advising that the programme can't be accessed in your location.聽</p> </div> <span><span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span>03 October 2019</span> Thu, 03 Oct 2019 13:50:44 +0000 Anonymous 5212 at http://bbc-sounds.local Live News on 大象传媒 Sounds http://bbc-sounds.local/questions/programme-availability/sounds-live-news <span>Live News on 大象传媒 Sounds</span> <div class="field--name-body"><p>大象传媒 Sounds has launched a new audio stream offering uninterrupted coverage of live news and current affairs.</p> <p>The stream will be offering audio-only news coverage that is broadcast on the 大象传媒 with inputs from both live radio and live TV 24 hours a day.
