BBC Radio
 
I have a site i use to watch Eastenders, and am proud to say i havent missed an episode since moving out here in November :) or Casualty either, but i do miss the listening to Chris Moyles in the morning, i download his weekly podcasts, but was wondering if there is a free way to listen to BBC Radio 1.
Ive heard of sirius but i know there is a monthly fee for that.
Thanks

Looks like ive solved my own problem, well kind of, seems you can listen to radio on bbc iplayer from the US, you just cant watch programmes, but that does mean listening to Chris Moyles in the evening for me and not the morning, guess i can deal with that.

It's less the the price of a couple of Blockbuster DVDs a month. It'll give you access to all the content you had when you lived back in Blighty.

Get satellite radio, they play radio 1 time shifted to eastern time. I listen again via the iplayer every day at work, every now and again there are problems but usually it's just fine.

I have a program called Audio Hijack that lets me schedule recordings, so I can set it to record any BBC program and record it to an mp3, which I later upload to my iPod and listen to at my leisure.
