The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ requires platforms (such as Google’s Assistant) to meet certain conditions for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ content to be available on their services. We seek to make our content as accessible to audiences as possible, but until it can be made available in a way that meets our Terms of Use and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Distribution Policy, certain Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ content will be unavailable through specific Google products.Μύ
What is affected?
Listeners will have difficulty accessing Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ podcasts via the Google Podcast app and they will not be able to directly access Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ podcasts via the Google Assistant (Google Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ).ΜύΒ
Where can listeners go instead?
In the UK, listeners will still be able to access our podcasts on the free Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds app and website. UK listeners using Google Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ can continue to access Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ podcasts by casting from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds appΒ or, if using a laptop, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds website on the Chrome browser. Outside the UK, listeners can access our podcasts on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds website (where casting is supported) and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ SoundsΒ app (where available).
Are any other podcast services affected by this change?
No. This only affects Google.
