Windows 10: Sad day for Internet Radio Listeners Tunein Regionally locked 10 Sept

Hi folks
I thought the Internet was meant to be International -- anyway since yesterday the Tunein radio service - 100,000's free Internet radio stations is now regionally blocked from its UK servers -- So for those things like classical music or other specialized music which have nothing to do with "commercial Rights" or Pirating - now a no go --even with a VPN you still get "regionally blocked" dependant on where the VPN's server is.

So Bye Bye an old friend --used to love all those foreign broadcasts and also great for language listening etc etc.

I suppose it's all the big boys forcing people into commercial subscriptions -- Apple etc - Bah Bah.

For the "North Korean" regime they seem to have in the UK currently regarding Internet issues -- I got this from the Tune in site

@TuneInSupport @cxxxx , Thank you for contacting us. Due to licensing issues, we have had to restrict content out of the UK. We apologize for the inconvenience.

BTW also an addendum -- The Premium service also will not remove the restriction - so no point in thinking about upgrading to get round the block.

I think this will be happening in other areas soon unless you register complaint !!

I've had to re-program my listening steam as I used to use a tunein server from the UK -- Server in Belgium still working though.

@ UK listeners - the web sites direct still stream - it's not as convenient though !!!!

Makes Chinese Internet seem positively liberal by comparison. !!!


If you use things like Sonos / Bose smart speakers problem also there as those often use the Tunein OPML streams for their streaming access. Not easy also to connect smart speakers via VPN -- maybe someone here can suggest !!!

Cheers

Can you give the name of that particular station?

 

Tunein radio shortcut to station


Piko, thanks for the response. The question was about Tunein radio (a Win 10 app), not streaming links. Actually, I use Winamp and if I could find a link for this particular station I would include it as a bookmark. Tunein radio is fine for listening to radio stations but there is no way to save a location for future quick access.
