If you use an Internet Radio to listen to BBC Radio as it is being broadcast, there is no action required and we are confident at this time that your service will continue uninterrupted. The old URLs will then stop working completely by 31st March 2021. Once the majority of devices are using the new system, we will add in-stream messaging on the old streams warning of the move in early to mid-March if there is still significant legitimate usage on the old platform. We will be spending the rest of the calendar year setting up the new streams and aim to be ready to move devices to the new URLs in January, starting with devices that the BBC is able to directly control.Īfter that we will be reaching out to the organisations we know about asking them to update. This also enables us to offer these streams securely over TLS, something which is increasingly requested by radio manufacturers and aggregators. However, the URLs that some devices need to connect to in order to receive them will be changing as part of us moving the delivery of these streams in-house.

We are not turning off these streams, or making any changes to the technical requirements of the devices that receive them.

We’re making some changes to our ICY (sometimes referred to as “shoutcast” or “icecast”) streams, and some vendors may need to update.

There is no action for listeners to take at this time and we do not anticipate any impact to your service.
