Why is there no audio on any of your channels? When I choose a selection it opens in another window as normal. However, there's no audio!

Hi, depends on what browser you are using. If its Chrome, you need to click on the two dots (sliders) to the left of the URL window (where the website address is written) and give your browser permission to play audio on the Pumpkin FM website. Let me know how you get on...

PayPal asks for a telephone number when making a donation primarily for security, identity verification, and to prevent fraudulent activity. It is part of their effort to ensure that the person making the payment is the authorized account holder. But its not a problem, thank you for considering making a donation...

Hi John , have to say love all the stations… listen all the time . I don’t know how you do it ! The Pumpkin fm Jingles are of a very high quality and excellent singers.It would be great to see a behind the scenes of how it’s all done. How are you able to maintain and fund with no adverts? (Which is a big plus) Have you any idea of listening figures ? Keep up the brilliant work!!

Hi, I'm using an Internet radio to listen to Pumpkin FM and all the stations are great. I'm trying to get Britcom 4 to work but it's not showing in the SkyTune directory! Is there a way to manually enter the stream into my Skytune Internet radio? It says you can't enter a website, only a stream - if that makes sense. Is there a "stream" I can enter until SkyTune gets updated. Thanks Marcus.

Hi, since the changes, I've noticed that when a programme ends, my Alexa thinks that I was only listening to one programme. It shuts down Pumpkin FM then I have to go through the whole rigmarole of asking it to play Pumpkin FM and then the channel I want. This never happened before the changes. Has something changed, or is the problem with Alexa?

Admin Reply by: pumpkinfm

It must be a problem with your Alexa, I have tested my own two devices and they play until I tell them to stop... Is this still happening?

I was about to make a similar comment about britcom4 working for a day or two and then not loading, then I saw your reply with a different port number to the one quoted initially (8705) - now I am going to try the other port number from your reply and check. Watch this space...

Hi Thanks for the updated URL for direct entry onto internet radios. I set it up and it worked for a couple of days, but now on both my devices I am getting a "401 Unauthorised" error. I have checked I am using the correct URL. Is this a server or client side issue? Thanks

Hi Len Everything seems OK with the donations page, I checked a short while ago... The Pumpkin FM app has been removed from the Google play store for now as it did not come up to scratch with their ever changing policies. I would recommend that you use the MyTuner app, available for both Android and Apple devices. https://mytuner-radio.com/radio-app/

John, thanks so much for the IP info - allowing for my iffy fingers and hitting comma instead of dot once or twice I have britcom 4 now on both my radios and am ready to start listening. Thanks again and very much appreciated.

Re. my last inquiry - I can see Britcom4 now on my internet radio, but still it's not showing on the older adapter, so when possible I hope to be able to add that directly via web address, but at the moment the "how to listen" faq doesn't list this. Sorry John as I guess you've got your work cut out right now making sure everything goes to plan (nifty new jingles by the way).

Hi Was looking forward to the new channel arrangements, but how do I listen to BritCom 4? I tune in on my Internet radio, but Skytune isn't listing BritCom 4 yet. On your website, the "how to listen" page hasn't been updated, so there's no URL listed for britcom 4 which would enable me to manually tune the radio. With no Android app, no "listen now" link on the website, no listing of B4 on any of the radio apps I use, I'm stumped 🤔 I've donated to your last 2 appeals and will do again this summer, if you can get britcom 4 working for me. Cheers Paul

Hi Paul, you can try and manually add it to your Internet radio IP: 65.21.202.84:8705 Port: 8705. I will be updating numerous radio directories and the Alexa app shortly, how quick they action my requests are outside my control I am afraid, but hopefully all soon will be well 🙂

I really appreciate the new variety across the 4 Britcom stations but have yet to find Britcom 4 on my internet radio. Britcoms 1, 2 & 3 are there but not the new station. Are there plans for an IOS app?

Admin Reply by: pumpkinfm

Hi Glen, I used to have my own app for Pumpkin FM, but Google eventually removed it from the Play Store due to some outdated elements that needed updating. The challenge is that Google is constantly changing its policies and requirements, making it hard to keep up—especially without the time or resources to manage it all. I’d recommend using the MyTuner app instead. BritCom 4 will be available on there soon, and it’s accessible on both Android and Apple devices: https://mytuner-radio.com/radio-app/
