BBC radio changes finally here. Any Roon impact?

As of July 21, the BBC will be sunsetting the BBC Sounds app outside the UK and will be requiring affected users to use the BBC.com app and the BBC website. Confusingly, although Radio 4 and the World Service will be highlighted on the app, all the BBC stations will be available through links a level or two below the splash page for those two services. What is clear (apparently) is that access to individual programs will be lost. I hope our hard-working Roon friends are following this saga and will be maintaining our access here. Right? BBC podcasts and audio are now available on BBC.com

If I load the BBC.com site and play radio, it provides DASH formats for me on a non-apple device. I suspect it uses the (almost identical) HLS form for apple devices and it is still the url Roon uses.

As long as the BBC doesn’t drop the HLS form we should be OK - but I’ll monitor.

As always, thanks.
