In parallel, we are working on plans to ensure the ongoing availability of other Â鶹Éç stations for listeners outside the UK. This includes the Â鶹Éç’s music stations, Â鶹Éç Radio 1, Radio 2, and Radio 3, 6 Music, 1 Xtra and Asian Network, as well as the Â鶹Éç’s stations from the nations and regions. We will prioritise countries where demand for the Â鶹Éç’s audio services is highest. We will not close Â鶹Éç Sounds outside the UK until we have confirmed these plans.
