Hello, finally found the right URL for British Radio Comedy One. There was a very long URL on my Logitech which I copied and entered in Chrome, this gave a file: tune.m3u. This played in Apple Music which gave access to this URL: http://158.69.227.214:8137/stream And that's the right one! No idea why this was so difficult, but I'm one happy bunny!

Came across you guys several months ago after my faithful Internet radio was retired after vtuner licencing ended. Thanks for keeping my OTR needs alive and kicking. BTW from the start I've been curious about the origin of Arkansas Gayle in the bump. I guessed early it was an AI generated voice but sufficiently good to make me not 100% sure. Is that also the same Gayle in honour of the sponsor Gayle? Keep up the great work. Nigel, The Netherlands

I don't understand how you can schedule the same programme on Britcom 2 AND Britcom 3‽ Doesn't anyone there check your timetable? I often tune in to find the same program running parallel. It might not be the same episode but why waste air time? I then switch off and go to another broadcaster. You have plenty of series from which to choose - pick an alternative!

Hi Michael, BritCom 3 does not have a schedule, the programming is pulled from the whole database by random logic. It is possible that sometimes it can clash with another channel. But saying that, you have three British comedy channels to choose from, so not sure why you would have to switch off?

Hi Martin Thanks for your message, glad everything is back and you should have access to BritCom 3 soon also... Thank you for your kind words and wanting to support us. But pennies are tight at the moment for many, so don't worry about donating, I am happy that you enjoy the programming. I never started Pumpkin FM to make money, just for my love of radio... Happy listening 🙂

Thank you Gayle, glad you like it, it gives people a chance to listen to many shows that have too few episodes to allow me to schedule them at a specific time or in some cases include them at all.

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.

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.

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.
