Offline radio listening, a long-requested feature, will likely bump up the broadcaster's iPlayer stats significantly. Users can also queue up multiple downloads, should they fancy a bit of a radio binge.Īccording to the BBC, it served over 860 million radio streams across all devices on BBC iPlayer Radio in 2014, with its podcasts hitting around 70 million downloads in May alone. Once users have updated to the latest BBC iPlayer Radio app for iOS, Android, or Kindle, a download option will appear on programme pages. While the BBC has long offered dedicated podcasts and shows pieced together from its daily broadcasts, this is the first time that entire uncut shows can be downloaded. Just like TV episodes downloaded via iPlayer, radio shows will expire after 30 days, but that should be plenty long enough to catch up with the latest episode of The Archers on a morning commute. It's been a long time coming, but in an update due to roll out later this week, the BBC's iPlayer Radio app will finally allow users to download radio shows for offline play.
