BBC Sounds block outside UK delayed

The BBC has postponed the blocking of the BBC Sounds app for audiences outside the UK after a decision limited access to Radio 4 and the World Service through BBC.com. The corporation stated that it is developing plans to maintain availability of other BBC stations for international listeners and will not close BBC Sounds until these plans are confirmed. This decision raises concerns for listeners in the Republic of Ireland regarding access to BBC Radio Ulster and Radio Foyle online.
