A new local section has been added to BBC Sounds which shows programmes and podcasts people can listen to which are about and from their local area.
The new section appears on the home screen when BBC Sounds is opened.
In England, this will be called Local to Me, and will include a mix of sports podcasts and sports shows from local radio stations, regional news bulletins, BBC Music Introducing shows unearthing the best undiscovered, under the radar local artists, and podcasts from Sounds, as well as short form audio and full radio programmes from your local patch.
Outside of England this new section will work a little differently, with each nation choosing the best content it has to offer, and will be called ‘From Wales’, ‘From Scotland’ and ‘From Northern Ireland’ respectively.
This new section is the latest of various to make BBC Sounds feel more personal and relevant to listeners.
