The BBC's announcement affects access to audio content for people outside the UK, specifically in France. The BBC Sounds app will become exclusive to users within the UK, while non-UK residents must use the new BBC app or the BBC.com website to access radio programming and podcasts. This change, effective July 21st, also means that subscriptions and bookmarks from BBC Sounds will not transfer. Available audio on the new platforms will be limited due to rights issues, with some radio stations offering only on-demand content.
The BBC Sounds app will become a UK-only service. Listeners outside the UK will access content through the new BBC app or the BBC.com website, requiring free registration.
BBC TV content access remains unchanged. Most non-UK residents need a satellite subscription for BBC TV, and iPlayer is restricted to UK IP addresses.
