Was it here that someone remarked that BBC local radio via iPlayer had
annoying clicks every few seconds? It was somewhere anyway. Well, I've
got the Howard Leader programme on from BBC Lincs and it's clicking like
mad.

Anyone else noticed a fault on iPlayer with local stations? The BBC
national radio channels play perfectly here, as does telly.

Yes same here, not just with iPlayer but listen live in browser and
using TapinRadio player.

It's the same on all the BBC local stations I've checked.

The original post was about BBC Cumbria in uk.tech.broadcast.

or off the telly, or what.

And why is it that only some selected local stations are in stereo now?

BBC Surrey was OK yesterday here.
Maybe its one regional centre?

It's there to make sure the listeners don't slip into a coma. I wonder
how many people die to the sound of local radio - quite a lot, I would
imagine. I wonder if there's a causal link.

Not as many who die to mind numbing commercial pap I'd imagine.
There are presenters around who keep you awake on local radio. Several on
the BBC southern counties surrey sussex, but I do agree, there are also
those who are really just totally boring. The snag is, the good ones tend to
move on to other things or retire and the bad ones just carry on regardless.

The only local radio station worth listening to is LBC. OK, it's 90%
phone-ins, but in general it is quite interesting. The one thing it
doesn't have is music (deliberately).

Bill,

If you're interested there is a Freeware program called "Total Recorder" -
with this you could capture some of the iPlayer output as an MP3 and e-mail
it to the beeb along with your complaint. Perhaps hit the "big boys" such
as Feedback on Radio 4 so that your problem gets a wider audience.

Is it doing it all the time? I might try and take a listen myself.

I was going to ask: Who at the BBC has this been reported to as yet?
Anyone?

If not, and it persists, I can see if I can nudge someone's elbow. Although
I suspect they may know already and are looking at fixing it.

Slainte,

Jim
