BBC radio live web cam.

Does anyone know how to access the BBC radio web cams so as to actually watch the programme being broadcast? i.e 5Live.

I know it can be done as I did it a few months ago, ( and they mention on air about it), but cannot now find how I did it, there does not seem to be a button for "watch live", there is one for the static cams, but that appears to be it.

TIA.

    I go to the appropriate page on the BBC website (eg http://www.bbc.co.uk/5live/) then click on "webcam"

    Not all programmes have a video stream.

    Radio 5 live regularly does, the Mayo and Kermode film reviews on a Friday afternoon are a must see.

    I hav watched a few bbc shows via webcam eg chris moyles live football commentry, a previous edition of that football show tim lovejoy presents or used to,

    it depends on the show, if its do able the show would have a link saying something like "watch it here live" or have a webcam link on the page

    Have done that as per my OP, but it is only for the static cams.

    I have pressed those before and am sure it worked although it was a few months ago.

    Yes it was a 5live prog that I am pretty certain had a live stream?

    Yep, just gone to the page now, and the webcam link only goes to 2x static cams.

    Alan Davies, on 5 Live now usually has a video stream but not today, guess the interweb elves are on holiday.

    I think I've missed the sausage sandwich game dammit!
