I live in Chicago and didn't find the UK restriction on the windows Media
link. I used Replay A/V to capture all the URL's generated by the Windows
Media stream when played using the BBC iPlayer. When I opened:
mms://wmlive-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms%5Cradio1%5Cradio1_nb_e1s1
in Winamp, Radio One played, using winamp's Windows media codec. it took a
little getting used to hearing a host speaking American English on the BBC.
I've listened to the World Service on shortwave for years and am now
sampling all BBC stations on the Internet. For those who aren't aware, the
BBC stopped shortwave broadcasts to North America.

Hi Audrey,
If you are a JAWS user (it is probably similar with other screen
readers):
1. Open the Radio 1 homepage at http://bbc.co.uk/radio1
2. Go to the Listen Live link and press enter. JAWS doesn't make it
clear that anything has happened, but some additional links
then appear. Two links are:
Listen live | RealPlayer
Listen Live | Windows Media (UK only)
Here in Australia, the RealPlayer stream works, but as stated, the
Windows Media stream does not. I've no idea why one can listen
with RealPlayer outside the UK, but not with Windows Media player.
Regards,
Barry Chapman

Subject: can't hear radio 1
Hi All,
I used to be able to listen to BBC radio1, but now when I click on the
listen live link, the machine goes ding and I get frustrated because
I
miss the chart show on Sundays.
I live in New York City, so maybe the British government cut it off to
those not living in the UK.
Can someone send me a direct link? Or perhaps, there is another way to
access it?
Thanks very much.
Audrey
