I can't seem to see 5 live sports extra in my live radio station list in iplayer on my android tablet so I have to use the embedded flash radio player in my browser on the BBC sport site.

Just me? Is it not a live iplayer station?

Well you lot arent much help.

Back at my desk again now and find that:

[url= http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/mobile_iplayer/listen_live ]

5 Live and 5 Live Sports Extra

Unfortunately the BBC does not have the relevant rights for all of the sports content on 5 Live and 5 Live Sports Extra for mobile. You can listen to these stations on a desktop computer.

So i'll have to install tunein radio I think.

The BBC, and the 'rights' owners need to wizen up to the concept of the internet at some point...

Wait - So the BBC can broadcast the coverage via

Regular Radio
Digital Radio
The internet

but they can't stream it to a mobile phone VIA THE INTERNET.

Despite the fact that every mobile phone capable of listening via the iPlayer is also capable of listening via the internet as well.

That is properly mental.

The internet

Im guessing that overseas iplayer users cant access 5live sports extra either. It will be a national restriction, not a platform one.

That would depend on your apparent IP address, which kind of highlights my point 😉

Overseas users can listen via the internet though. The URL is here:

Bonkers.
