Default BBC Radio in Riyadh?

Hello - In Bahrain, they broadcast BBC world service radio on 101FM. Is there anything similar in Riyadh, which would allow me to listen while driving?

Thanks for all replies

None that I've found so far .. unless you are near the US base on the kharj road towards industrial city 2 then you can pick up 3 AFN radio stations but you tend to lose signal a couple of miles in either direction.

I use R1 to sleep to here at home. Can't imagine voluntarily listening to it whilst conscious.

You can listen to thousands of stations via the Internet. Can't you do that on some fancy iPad device ?

Of course some of us prefer tuning in to 2LO with our crystal sets.

Brilliant app - listened to England vs Brazil on TalkSport last night whilst stuck on the Causeway, sitting in the office in Jubail listening to Chris Evans Breakfast show - used to listen via VPN
