      Its funded by the UK TV license so I guess it makes sense it’s blocked here ?

      Shite. I was really hoping 6Music wasn’t going to be affected in whatever this change was. That’s gutting.

      Should they be obligated to provide services free of charge to foreign residents who don’t contribute to funding? I mean, great if they do so, but feels like it’s not really something you can criticise them for not doing.

      Access via the browser and use a VPN. Problem solved, same with iPlayer

      We should retaliate by allowing the brits full access to the RTE Player. That’ll learn them

      I was really disappointed when I saw the message in the app that they will be shutting it down. I’m a fan of 6 music.

      I think I’ll still be able to listen on the website so it’s not the end of the world, just disappointing.

      Ironically it’s a paywalled article so it’s a slap in the face for those who don’t have a subscription to the Irish Times.

      I Reccomend listening to the podcast Cover: Steakknife , before the app is gone

      It’s the BRITISH broadcasting corporation, last time i checked we’d spent many centuries obstinately refusing to be British

      There’s actually homes who have a living room in the north and a kitchen in the south, I wonder how it will work for them lol

      >Asked to respond to concerns about the impact of its decision on listeners in the Republic and suggestions it may be incompatible with the 1998 [Belfast Agreement](https://www.irishtimes.com/tags/belfast-agreement/), a spokeswoman for the BBC said: “BBC content will remain available on third-party platforms outside the UK.”

      They are totally within their rights to restrict this to only the UK. The only thing I don’t like is we don’t get content they publish to Netflix outside of the UK. Recently the new Wallace and Gromit movie was on the BBC iplayer and on Netflix for everyone except Ireland as we get lumped with the UK. So we can’t view the iplayer or the content they release to Netflix for folks outside the UK.

      Only if they prise my VPN from my cold dead fingers. ☠️

      Is there anything we won’t brand “a slap in the face” or a “kick in the teeth” in this country?

      Will a VPN get around it? Maybe not. What a shame. I genuinely can’t stomach the thought of listening to Irish radio in the car.

      Hopefully a VPN will sort it. I have 6 music on all day on my WFH days.
