Frequently asked questions about BBC Radio Ulster live
No — BBC Radio Ulster broadcasts over the internet only, so there is no frequency to find on a set. That is a deliberate trade: an online station skips the cost of a broadcast licence and reaches the whole country from day one, but it needs a connection at the listener's end. Press play above and it runs in the browser.
BBC Radio Ulster keeps a mixed schedule rather than committing to a single genre, which is the older model of radio: one station serving a whole audience through the day rather than one slice of it. It broadcasts by stream, so it reaches listeners anywhere.
Local, based in Northern Ireland — though the stream carries it well beyond its broadcast footprint.
No. BBC Radio Ulster plays directly in the browser with nothing to download and no account to create. It works the same on Android, iPhone and desktop.
Not especially — around 30 to 60 MB an hour. On a capped tariff a full working day of BBC Radio Ulster would be noticeable, so wi-fi is worth using where you can.
