I didn’t realise they moved to MediaCity after Television Centre closed, I assumed they moved to Broadcasting House

Parts of the BBC’s website is now under paywall in the US. Breaking news, Radio 4 and World Service livestreams, free newsletters and podcasts are unaffected if you don’t pay. Thankfully no plans to expand beyond North America for now.

They moved to Manchester before TVC closed. It was more about moving production out of London than anything to do with TVC or NBH.

I know this article states North America, but I’ve noticed that BBC Sounds is no longer available on the Australian App Store.

Currently though the replacement BBC Audio service only has BBC World Service and Radio 4. hopefully in the next few months they add more, but for now at least we still have BBC Sounds online.

They won’t. The audio page is only there to give us World Service (Online subversion), R4 and podcasts. Everything else will only be accessable from the 21st through this directory that you get to by clicking Audio FAQs on the audio page.
