I listen to the 'listen again' feeds. I work with a lot of Americans, they also prefer the Beeb.

For local UK stations try this.

Radiomaps

The list of blocked stations seems to be getting longer, but most still work.

Yep. Also BBC podcasts, several for Radio 4. See Available Programmes for a list and Radio Locator for other UK Internet radio streams.

Also, if you're looking for sport commentary, local stations often stream games that the BBC will block for rights reasons.

I listen to Spirit FM from time to time. It always brings back fond memories of my home when I hear the traffic reports.

I've not listened to a radio in over 15 years and have never listened to a broadcast from the web.

So my reply is "Negative"

Terry Wogan for me.

I wish the BBC didn't use Real though. It sucks for Macs. On a PC, you can rewind and FF in ten minute bites, but on a Mac you get all or nothing.

BE tends to crash my browser and it's annoying when that happens because if I was an hour into a two hour show, I have to listen to the first hour again to get the second hour.
