I am a regular sufferer of geo blocked radio stations on the net. I am a fan of Planet Rock. It's blocked in Ireland, found a way around it. And would listen a lot in the evening/night. And when it would go to robo-jock mode after Alice Cooper I would open the Nights With Alice Cooper app and keep listening.
Due to a few health problems in the house over the last few months I haven't used the Alice Cooper app until now and it didn't work so uninstalled and reinstalled it. Hit play and it says Geo-Blocked.
Anyone else find the app not working or is it just me?

I have not listened for some time too and tried to this weekend but am getting the "error due to the stream is geo blocked."
Anyone know how to get around it?

Load lsn.to/PRK into your web browser. Does the player work for you there?

I am often surprised that even British stations are geo blocked in Ireland.
Even worse for TalkSports or BBC Radio 5 as both do have listeners in Ireland on AM, - as long as they are still on AM.

Ah, ok, but really everything, every match?
What about Radio 5? Is that blocked in the UK for certain matches?

Doesn't Talksport do an opt out for Irish listeners on Saturdays with Trevor Welch? At least they did up to last season.

Yep. I use Windscribe VPN free up to 10gb a month. Perfect for 5live or any other geoblocked stations.
