• "Live rewind" radio

    The BBC Sounds app lets replay the last few minutes while listening to a broadcast.

    Are there any streaming services which offer a similar "live rewind" for
    other stations such as LBC or Times Radio, as well as the BBC?

    I think TuneIn Radio Pro has a rewind feature but TuneIn doesn't provide
    BBC radio.

    On the Nest devices, you can say "Hey G**gle, rewind", you can say it repeatedly, but it won't go back earlier than the point you started listening.

    Tunein are really a bunch of lily-livered scaredycats. they have decimated their channels available in the uk just because of some injunction from
    sony and warner and the bbc asking them to remove their streams.

    The BBC told TuneIn that they wanted listener data on the BBC channels
    they carried in the UK. When TuneIn (based in California) said no the
    BBC pulled the plug on their channels in the UK. Note however that you
    can still access BBC radio through TuneIn outside the UK. So, people in
    the UK who mostly pay for the BBC can't access their radio channels
    through TuneIn, but the rest of the world (who don't pay) can freely
    access BBC radio through TuneIn.

    Amazon Alexa says it can't rewind either Times Radio or LBC. In theory,
    it can rewind BBC Sounds but I've never had success.

    It may be partly down to problems with voice commands but I think the
    function isn't there.

    If you use Opera as your browser it has a built-in VPN which can 'place'
    you outside the UK to use Tune-In.
