Planet Radio (UK) - Forth2 but probably others

[Neil_Mason1 (Neil Mason)]

Hi

I tuned into Forth2 today and there is a standard announcement that the current way that is used to tune into the radio station will end in the next few days. I guess this is going to be the same for all Planet Radio stations

I had a search on the web pages but could not find an alternative URL for the web stream.

I hope some of the Roon Curation geniuses might be able to search out the information and update the links

thanks in advance

Neil

@Neil_Mason1

could not find an alternative URL for the web stream.

I’m afraid there won’t be. Bauer want information about their listeners and providing a raw stream doesn’t do that.

Bauer media radio stations will no longer be available on third party sites - including Roon

Bauer media have released the following: Stations affected include Absolute radio. Greatest Hits. Jazz FM. Kerrang! KISS. Magic. Planet Rock. Scala Radio. A full list of Bauer stations can be found here It appears that all of these will no longer be available to third parties, including Roon, Tunein and Sonos. Planet Rock has issued some FAQs

Ah ok, thanks Brian

That is very frustrating but the way of the world nowadays

Gggrrrrr

They’re back - for the time being…

Bauer media radio stations will no longer be available on third party sites - including Roon

Ok, I’ve added back all the Bauer stations that had been removed. I’ll try and monitor and see if they remain online for us. Let me know if I’ve missed any. There are some local Greatest Hits Radio stations that also need adjusting. I’ll do these in slow time. Thank you @Trickydickie .
