Well done Peter,
That's me just about covered all my favourite stations, apart from a couple
outwith the BBC.
Many thanks for this,

Hi Jamie/All,
Radio Scotland:
http://bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/rs.asx
Five Live:
http://bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r5l.asx
Classic FM is harder to track down and I ran out of time for now but
will let you know if I find it.
Best,
Peter
