Every British radio station could be available on the internet within months, through a new website planned by the BBC. A single website which offers for listeners to tune into all BBC and commercial British radio stations could be online by Christmas - first half of 2010. The site would offer up to 500 different networks including both BBC and commercial stations. A prototype could be ready for testing as early as this Christmas. BBC director of audio and music Tim Davie said the abundance of free music websites like Spotify meant the industry faced a “real threat” of extinction unless it moved quickly to provide a one-stop shop for radio listening. At present, only 2% of radio listening is done via the internet, but Davie wants to see it become widespread through portable.

 

Gappster.com thinks it is already too late to develope service like this. Too many websites out there on internet, which offer free uk radio station listings and directories, and it is no chance to beat them, even it is product from BBC. For example: Gappster.com radio directory contains over 2000 radio stations from UK  to listen online.
