Indeed, the recent farting-about with URLs, etc, seems to me a potential symptom of deckchair being moved by someone focussed on "Zounds!" who breaks established iPlayer behaviour without knowing. So the result may be disruption or annoyance for iPlayer users. I'll see if I can find out something more reliable, unless someone else here already has a *reliable* source - i.e. not the DM.

Re: Goodbye iPlayer Radio
hello Owen; I fail to understand the logic of the BBC. Why support two different apps when the current single app is doing just fine.

It is only the iOS and Android apps that are going, to force people to use the much derided BBC Sounds app instead.
