I like it. I hate having to search around for the "listen now" button that, up until now, they have delighted in hiding all around the place. Every radio station is here at a glance.

It gets my vote as well. Far easier than the normal searching around or having to use a third party radio player. Mind you the simplicity and convenience probably mean that it's unlikely ever to make it out of beta, instead being replaced by a bloated, confusing, committee designed waste of bandwidth.

Cynical? Moi? biggrin

I'd agree with that, currently when all I want is PM live on R4 I keep ending up on the 4Extra (whatever that is) page. Stop proliferating BBC and concentrate on your core quality stations!

PS I also notice there is a beta homepage for the main site. Quite horrible IMHO, looks like an ITV product. Far less useful than the current one.

ETA It's good they are going through a beta process
