Having already lost many of my favourite radio stations through the copyright problem discussed elsewhere,  I have now also lost the ability to listen to BBC 5 Live Sports Extra. This is the major broadcasting organisation from my own country, and a public service. What's going on with Bluesound?

  Hi David

  We are really excited about BBC Sounds but have no timeline just yet we can share. That being said, check out www.bluesound.com/bluetooth

  Leaving aside your patronising implication that I am unaware of the existence of Bluetooth, you have not explained why BBC 5 Live Sports Extra is no longer available to me through TuneIn services or my pre-set. Also, no doubt you are really excited about BBC Sounds, but since you have not told me what to be excited about, I can't share in your excitement. What I see instead is a service that is getting steadily worse as it goes along.

  Problem now appears to have been resolved. Radio 5 LSE is accessible through the following navigation within TuneIn :

  By Location > Europe > UK > National Networks > BBC > Local Stations > BBC Radio 5 live sports extra (London).

  Note that a slightly higher quality stream (128kbps HLS) can be set up as a custom favourite using the following URL :-
