Frequently asked questions about BBC Arabic live
BBC Arabic has no place on the dial. It is one of the many British stations that launched as a stream rather than applying to Ofcom for a frequency, which is why specialist formats like this one exist at all — the audience for them is spread too thin for local FM. It plays here with nothing to install.
Breakfast is the most contested slot on British speech radio, and the one that sets the day's agenda. What you hear now is the live output, whatever the hour.
Yes. The stream is open and there is nothing to configure, so BBC Arabic plays the same from anywhere. The only thing to watch is the time difference if you are following a particular programme.
No account, no email address, no trial. Press play and the stream starts; there is no limit on how long you can listen.
An hour of BBC Arabic costs roughly 30 to 60 MB. For comparison, standard-definition video can use that in a few minutes.
