In the early days you could get the summary of The Archers episodes for the week in advance by twiddling the URL.... At some point they got wise to it, and they might get wise to this too.


If they lock their internet streams to their app, that'd kick themselves off of internet radio appliances, so it may not be feasible.

(they did shut down their MP3 streams this year though, which probably did that to some older ones)


The main appliances (Google, Amazon) already go through a pre-installed BBC app to serve their content.


The much-missed Beeb-O-Tron[0] used to have a function to do this called the "Beebobodge"[1], given any timeslot in the week. Nowadays I use Radiofeeds[2] to get live URL stream links which I play through Transmission on Android or VLC on PC.
