Hi All,

I've just gone to run my weekly catch-up of World Service progs, but the Listen Again page says none are available. Can someone please let us know if there's a problem, or has the Beeb changed its addresses again or somesuch?

Thanks in anticipation.
Monty

I'm getting the same thing as you, Monty. I don't know what's going on there. Beebotron's not picking the programs up for some reason. Hopefully, Kronalias will know.

I'll keep looking. Hang tight.

The World Service is a law unto itself, and appears to be the one station that doesn't adhere to the format for the rest of the BBC's streams. To add insult to injury, this is the case for both Listen Again and Live Radio links.

I've chased the World Service for years, and I've had enough. Especially when their own website doesn't work.

Sorry, K

I've taken the World Service out of the Beebotron Listen Again links pages, because the links either don't work (if you're in the UK), or don't exist (if you're outside).

The Beeb may start making the WMA links work again, or they may not - in either event the Beebotron will continue to try to find World Service links, once an hour, on the hour.

if anyone wants to try the links (or the absence thereof) then I've left another page updating.

Yer tis ...

... so if anyone keeps an eye on the World Service links in it, and they start to work would they please let me know (in which case I'll do a Lazarus on the links).

Ta K
