BBC TV Audio

BBC TV audio is a stream of audio from BBC television, in the BBC's news and programming. The content follows a television channel, so it can include news bulletins, current affairs programmes, documentaries and discussions, and the sound is taken from the video broadcast rather than being produced specifically for radio. As a result, programmes that rely on pictures may be harder to follow, but spoken news and talk work well as audio.

The BBC is a public broadcaster funded mainly by the licence fee in the United Kingdom, and its output is guided by editorial guidelines on impartiality. The stream is useful for listeners who want to follow BBC television news while working, driving or travelling, or who have limited bandwidth and prefer sound to video. The language is English, and the details of the schedule depend on the source. The station metadata does not specify which channel is carried, and the content may change. Access to some BBC content is restricted outside the United Kingdom. This stream is delivered as MP3 at 56 kbps, a low bitrate that keeps speech intelligible while using very little data, which suits slow connections. It plays in your browser on RadioKite, and you can add it to your favourites.
