To prefer ‘Radio’ to ‘Sounds’

I have just visited the BBC website to listen to something on the iplayer radio which I do to help me drift off to sleep and found that the word ‘radio’ has been replaced by ‘sounds’. Why? ‘Radio’ seems to me to encompass both music and speech whereas ‘sounds’ could be a door banging or a toilet flushing. It belittles what radio does.

Well I have been battling with BBC Sounds for a week or so and DON’T LIKE IT.

I have managed to find a feedback section online and have told them in no uncertain terms what a disappointment it is. I often listen the Drama via BBC Radio IPlayer which I can get listed alphabetically, however on BBC Sounds there is just a great long list of drama in no particular order that I can recognise. I can’t imagine it would be hard to use the alphabet system for any programmes. I shall be writing to them again, so be warned. ?
