BBC Releases ‘First Version’ of BBC Sounds ‘Personalised’ Audio App

The BBC released the “first version” of audio app BBC Sounds that “brings together our live and on-demand radio, music and podcasts into a single personalised app for the first time,” blogged the broadcaster Tuesday. The free app is downloadable from the Apple, Google and Amazon app stores, it said. “It’s all part of the BBC reinventing itself for a new generation, helping people to discover new things to listen to and navigate the 80,000 hours of audio we have available,” it said. “This is very much a first version -- we’ll be adding new functionality and looking for people to feed back on their experience over the summer.”
