UK Internet Radio Restrictions & Beyond
Although UK residents can listen to UK based internet radio stations on their phone apps, station websites and radio aggregators, due to uncertainty regarding music copyright, neighbouring rights issues, and possible licensing restrictions, some radio aggregators such as Radio Garden and TuneIn may geo-block radio stations outside of the UK, from UK based listeners. Radio Garden is a very popular global radio aggregator and has published a statement for its users based in the UK. You can listen to many of our 24/7 Online Radio Group stations on Radio Garden.
