BBC radio on demand added to Xbox Live iPlayer app

30 August 2012 by John Robertson

The BBC iPlayer add on Xbox Live has been updated and now gives you on demand access to a number of BBC radio stations.

Each radio station can be searched and sorted by category, with featured content pushed towards the front page.

Some of the stations available include:

·         BBC Radio 1
·         BBC 1xtra
·         BBC Radio 2
·         BBC Radio 3
·         BBC Radio 4
·         BBC Radio 5 Live
·         BBC Radio 6
·         BBC Asian Network
·         BBC World Service

The radio stations are part of a big push by Microsoft to improve access to non-gaming forms of media through the Xbox 360 dashboard. This summer has also seen the addition of the £15 Sky Movies Pass, Netflix “Just for Kids” family search filters and Blinkbox film rentals.
