Welcome to GarfNet Internet Radio<\/h2>\n

Editor’s note. 2025-07-19. Following the BBC’s recent radio stream fiasco<\/a>, this page has been rewritten and updated. The streams and links listed below should work properly now, with separate linked pages for BBC DASH<\/a> and BBC HLS<\/a> streams.
\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Regular readers already know that the BBC has a nasty habit of breaking its internet radio streams. In fairness, other radio stations do this too sometimes. But other stations are not as secretive about their internet radio stream URL’s as the BBC appears to be. This page is an attempt to mitigate this and provide up-to-date URLs for various radio streams. It was originally created as part of the old defunct “GarfNet Internet Radio Player” that we built back in the day when we ran Joomla. Today, we prefer to test and list the working URLs as links, and then let our readers decide how they wish to play them. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Latest BBC national & local radio streams<\/h2>\n

In its infinite wisdom, seems the BBC has taken to changing its radio streams URL’s as often as some people change their underpants. It’s become quite a struggle just to keep up. To make the maintenance a little more straightforward, we have split the BBC HLS streams off to a new page. We have also created a new list of alternative BBC DASH streams. Fortunately, the BBC seldom breaks all<\/em><\/strong> its streams at the same time, hopefully some<\/strong><\/em> of these streams should still stay up when the Beeb breaks the others, At least, that’s the general idea…<\/p>\n
