BBC Radiostreams ohne Webbrowser hören
Das geht ganz einfach, wenn man iTunes installiert hat, alle Sender sind in iTunes’ riesiger mitgelieferter Radioauswahl vorhanden. Man muss sie nur finden in dem Wust! Drum hier eine kleine Hilfestellung, in welcher Radiokategorie sich welche Station versteckt (mit Links auf die Senderseiten):
Top 40 / Pop: BBC Radio 1 & Radio 1Xtra
Adult Contemporary: BBC Radio 2
Classical: BBC Radio 3
News / Talk Radio: BBC Radio 4 & Radio 5live
Comedy: BBC Radio 4 Extra
Alternative Rock: BBC Radio 6
Von so einem vielfältigem und vor allem hochwertigem Angebot gebührenfinanzierten Radios kann man hierzulande leider nur träumen. Umso heftiger möchte ich die BBC knutschen, die Streams ohne Umwege weltweit hörbar zu belassen!

“I mean… technically, given that it was radio, Justin didn’t have to physically pick Benedict up for the ‘He’s flying!’ bit. But, well… he did.
I am helpfully holding the script for them. And I am also standing next to Prunella Scales. Oh yes.” (John Finnemore)
Die Herrschaften hängen sich ja mal wirklich rein für ihre Zuhörer :D
“Do you remember what happened to Icarus?”
“Of course I do!”
“So you’ve deliberately named your company after the first bad pilot in history?”
