Why can't I listen to certain programmes outside the UK?
For rights reasons, we might not be able to make certain content available outside of the UK. For example:
- certain sports coverage
- some music content (particularly classical music or live concerts)
When we restrict a live radio stream outside the UK, you’ll hearĚý“This content is unavailable due to technical or rights reasons.”ĚýIf an on-demand programme is restricted, you'll see a "Sorry, this content can only be played in the UK" message on the app and aĚý“Not available” message on the website.
If you're in the UK but you're seeing or hearing a message telling you that certain content isn't available, check our Why do you think I'm outside the UK? page for more advice.
