RE: [backstage] Yahoo Widget for BBC radio and Listen Again content
Thanks to everyone for their help and information. The revised and working widget is at - http://widgets.yahoo.com/widgets/bbc-radio-iplayer-plus For the next release I'm looking at various improvements in the look and feel of the app and providing fuller program information.
