Bauer Media Audio radio stations go offline at breakfast time

Radio stations owned by Bauer were offline on Wednesday morning due to an internal equipment update.

Stations across the country from Wave 105 to Northsound 2 along with Hits Radio, Greatest Hits Radio, Absolute Radio and Planet Rock all went down for around half an hour just before 8am.

Bauer tells RadioToday the downtime was due to the company updating its streaming infrastructure.

Many of the stations had earlier tweeted details of the problems, which affected smart speakers, the Planet Radio app, in-car streaming and radio station websites.

AM, FM and DAB platforms were unaffected by the issue which was resolved around 8.20am.
