Soon I hope but these days it is hard to keep to schedule as I get
dragged off to deal with unexpected issues.

The problem is that the old "current track & program" info came from a
single feed from RadioPlayer. This has stopped so "new" solution is 
(i) two feeds  - one  from BBC (current track) and one from RadioPlayer
- question is whether RadioPLayer is still a long term solution. 
or 
(ii) two BBC feeds,  one with current track data and the second with
current program data but in a more complex format than RadioPlayer
feed.

In both cases the BBC current track data seems to be "worse" than the
old system (which it seems BBC has retired), the new "current track"
feed seems to have longer gaps with no information - however this may
just be perception as it may in fact be more accurate.

As there are now two feeds, the coding has twice the complexity - so
that it is necessary to take time considering the "best" solution.
