BBC local stations blocked

Over the last week I noticed that local BBC stations are blocked if you are outside of the UK. I periodically enjoyed streaming some of the programming over the last few years but for some reason it has disappeared. Anyone know what changed suddenly and if there’s a workaround?

A VPN may fix things…

Looks like it could be Olympics related:

I very much hope so — it would be dreadful to be without the BBC abroad when international travel resumes in the post-C19 world. To me, the BBC — and especially BBC Radio — is the greatest Great British institution. Love it!

Thanks Clare hopefully that’s the case I do enjoy the programming!
