iPlayer radio on Panasonic Viera - where has it gone ??

[Portoman]

Hi

I've been watching BBC iPlayer on my tv for a while to watch and listen to the radio. But today I see the BBC has messed around with the format again and now the iPlayer radio tab appears to have disappeared - I can still the tv programmes but where is the radio ?!?!

Is this to do with my tv or is it a BBC thing OR am I just not seeing where it has moved to ?

Thanks in advance.

We have decided not to include radio within this new version of BBC iPlayer – I appreciate this is not the response some of you wanted. This is because the effort required to support on-demand radio listening via TVs is significant but TVs are not a significant way that people are using to listen to on-demand radio content. You can continue to enjoy live radio on all Freeview, Freesat and YouView devices and live and on demand radio via BBC iPlayer Radio on computers, tablets and smart phones.

Thanks for the answer.

It is absolutely ridiculous to remove it - if people aren't using it then now they will never get a chance to ! We can listen to it on tablets and the like ? Oh thanks :clap: - I will have my tinny tablet next to me while I do some studying, coming out of its tiny speaker? I can listen to it on the computer - yeah I will sit in front of my desktop enjoying it huh, staring at the screen. I wonder how the hell they get this information about what people are listening to - this is really poor. Why the hell do they have to mess around with things
