What radio is on the BBC website?

A screen shot of the BBC online radio portfolio

All the BBC radio stations are available at bbc.co.uk. This means that with an internet connection you can listen to all the radio the BBC broadcasts. And it gives you added flexibility - you can choose to listen to a live show or catch up on one you missed.

Listening online

The best thing about bbc.co.uk/radio is that you can listen online using the iPlayer radio. Just select a station and you can listen to the live programme or catch up on a show you missed. You will find all your favourite shows and presenters, and you can listen to them by clicking the play button on the iPlayer radio.

Finding the stations

At the top of every BBC web page is a link to the BBC Radio portal which lists all the radio output the BBC has available. It also lists all the podcasts that you can download and radio blogs from different presenters.

You can use it to go to the homepages for every BBC radio station. So, for instance, if you want to see what's coming up on Steve Wright’s show you can find out on his pages on the Radio 2 website.

The Nations

Select your nation’s BBC radio station. They are also available in their national language:

Local radio

You can also use iPlayer to listen to your local radio station. For a full list go to the BBC iPlayer radio page, and look for the stations at the bottom of the page.

Music radio programmes

The BBC has an online music page where you can search by genre or artist. If you type in, say, “Kylie”, it should come up with a radio-related link - eg a Kylie interview on Radio 1. You will also find listings for BBC Music radio programmes on the BBC Music homepage.
