Receiving Classic fm outside U.K. On Muso

Posted by: Kittytwister on 11 April 2017

we live in Southern Ireland and are loyal listeners to Classic fm for many a year. Have graduated from oldies to classical music with the aid of this station. Yesterday morning it went off line and did not return  until sometime this afternoon (11th. April) . I noticed also that a pure sensia and Roberts radio we have could not stream classic fm although all other stations were available. Delighted that it's back. Discovered that there was no break in streaming in the U.K. as I checked. I am also aware that Magic radio station is blocked to listeners outside the U.K. , this is a bit of a shame. 

Would like also Naim to update there listing of stations as raven radio has closed down since earlier this year. Amazing cannot understand all this business about rights etc but let's hope that they will not knock off to listeners outside the UK. Observations would be welcome.

I can only confirm that I was listening to classic FM via iRadio this morning, as I do every morning before work, and it was fine here in London.

It's only a shame that classic FM is only steamed at 128kbs.

Yeah, quite ridiculous especially as classical music needs higher resolution!
