BBC News have an article on it; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12909733

Many of the UK's biggest radio broadcasters have joined forces to launch a system for listening to their stations over the internet.

UK Radioplayer brings together commercial outlets alongside BBC stations in an attempt to boost online listening.

I don't think it's anything impressive personally, this is mainly because I only listen to Radio 1 so have no need to be able to easily swap to other stations. Obviously other people might listen to several stations so this makes life a lot easier, Opinions here please!

I don't believe this is finished - I think it's the first stage.

as long as it dosen't stop 'get iplayer' from working, then i'm happy.

Am I right in thinking this applies to just the national BBC radio stations and not the local ones? I was listening to a BBC London show on the iplayer and the interface was the same as it always has been but when I was listening to Radio 1 shows earlier that day the layout was presumably this new 'Radio Player' one.

It's okay but I preferred what it was like before. I don't see why the BBC should be helping out the commercial stations. Maybe it's a legal thing.

Is this available for internationals or is it yet another UK-restricted thing?

I'd imagine it's going to be UK-restricted due to music rights and so on. I could be wrong though

[DC]

theres always ways around that.
