You've recently announced a change in the host handling your broadcasts. I receive Pumpkin via internet radios (Pure and Pinnel brands). There is no URL involved in the configuration. Will I have to do something when you eventually make a change? By the way, Britcom 3 still doesn't show on these. Hi Stephen, It's a logistical nightmare at the moment, but I am wading through it. I am contacting all kinds of directories at the moment getting them to update their links. Pure is served by Frontier-Nuvola. I have just sent them a request.

Hi - I really enjoy listening online. I use the onlineradiobox to connect but this does not show Britcom3 for some reason? Do you get paid for the old adverts? Maybe its best to drop the smoking adverts though? Personally I would prefer continuous programmes but I guess you need the 'fillers' as programmes usually less than 30 minutes!

Thank you for your message, Philip. It is my hope that BritCom 3 will be added to OnlineRadioBox's database within the next 24 hours. No advertisements play on our stations for payment. Historically, tobacco companies have been one of the main sponsors of radio programming, especially in the United States. Most of the time, they are embedded in the program itself, and I provide the programs as they originally aired. Most of the brands no longer exist, to be honest. Wishing you a happy holiday season!

Hi, I listen via Roberts internet radio, using silicon frontier. Since yesterday both BritCom 1&2 have disappeared from both my radios, although I can still receive those stations on my mobile phone. This happened a month ago too & retuning the stations retrieved them, but this time it doesn't work, neither does resetting my router etc & both stations are dead. I don't use TuneIn or Alexa. Please advise as I am lost without them & can't listen via my phone for 24 hours a day! Thanks.

Hi Colin Tune-in has begun to reinstate some UK stations, but unfortunately many have not yet returned. I have written to them many times and am waiting for them to act Unfortunately, the cost of developing and hosting an apple app is too high for us. The MyTuner App is a good alternative. You can find it in the app store and it contains all our channels. Best wishes, John

Hi, I love listening to your stations on TuneIn radio. However, they’ve all been dropped from the App. I prefer to have a sleep timer on it, so I can’t really use the website version. Can you reinstate them please? Thanks.

Hi Dave Tunein removed all UK stations from their directory due to a court order from PRS, the UK rights organisation. It was primarily targeted at music sites, but to be cautious Tunein removed everything. They are starting to reinstate channels that can prove they are legally licenced by PRS or are Spoken Word / Talk Stations. Both BritCom 1 & 2 have now been reinstated. others to follow soon.

An addition to my previous entry, I wish that there is somehow a button to turn off a broadcast after a set time, eg. A sleep button, maybe there already is, but unfortunately cannot locate. Thank you all.

I have been listening to the old BBC comic shows for sometime now and throughly enjoy the shows. Hardly a day goes by when I do not tune in. A great radio station, thank you all so very much. The Goons and other comic shows such as Hancocks Half Hour are, thank goodness, are still available and played regularly on BBC Radio 4extra. Still so very funny as when 1st broadcast some 60 years ago.

Thank you for providing this innovative service. I listen 10 hours sometimes 18 hours a day. I ask everyone that listens to help support it. One comment however in pursuit of excellence. If the noise to signal ratio on a broadcast is over 30% it is UNlistenable. Also 19 Nocturne program is terrible. Sorry to end on a sour note. But I am a big fan.
