BBC Media Player

BBC Media Player is the multimedia player for Android smartphones and tablets that allows you to watch the programs of the UK's public television company.

BBC Android application

The BBC or British Broadcasting Corporation is probably one of the most famous public broadcasters in the world. She has a lot of experience, having started her radio broadcasts in 1922 and conducting her first television show in 1936. It has played a very important role in the last 100 years of British history, for example keeping spirits up during the Second World War.

Times have changed since the first radio broadcasts. So much so that now we have our own multimedia player that we can use to follow all the broadcasts. We're talking about the BBC Media Player with which we can watch TV shows and listen to radio programs on our Android smartphone or tablet.

The most important functions

The app has the following features:

• Access live broadcasts on channels such as BBC One, BBC Two or BBC News.
• Listen to different radio stations like BBC Radio, Radio 1, Radio 4 and others.
• Accessing the content of other BBC applications and web services, such as B. BBC Sports with sports news or weather information from BBC Weather.
• You can watch live broadcasts or reruns up to 30 days after they aired.
• Call and message notifications while playing videos.

Does this mean we can watch the BBC outside of the UK?

No, unfortunately you cannot. You can download the app in any country with no issues, but you won't be able to play channels unless you're in a country where the BBC usually broadcasts. However, you can always use a VPN app to spoof your IP address to pretend you are in England or Scotland, for example.
