Just after I posted I realised your issue was about the future broadcast dates! (My response was more about getting info from a pid, without downloading).
I'm not claiming this is the most elegant of code, but as a proof of concept this takes uses the "web:" entry from --info and then finds the html showing the broadcast dates. get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=b00yhv30 --test -i | grep web: | sed -e 's/^web: *//'|xargs curl -silent | sed -n -e '/<div id="broadcasts">/,/^ *<\/div>/p'|grep '<div class="date">' However that's only using get_iplayer to show the web address. If the web address is consistent in the same format you could equally use: curl --silent http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00yhv30.html | sed -n -e '/<div id="broadcasts">/,/^ *<\/div>/p'|grep '<div class="date">' John.
