We’re delighted to announce that we have released updates to all 5 BBC Radio Players to include full support for the Windows Phone 7.5 (codenamed Mango) which brings one significant and exciting feature: The ability to play your favourite radio station at any time without needing to have the application loaded!

The updates are trickling through the marketplace as we speak and should be available later this week.

The development process has not been without a few bumps and compromises on the way, however we’ll cover that in a future blog post. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the result and enjoying the glowing feedback from the press.
