Welcome to UK Radio Portal
As a new generation and resurgence of local radio stations take to the airwaves across, UK Radio Portal brings together an extensive variety of radio stations to your Internet connected Amazon Fire TV Sticks.
Amazon Fire TV Sticks
UK Radio Portal is available on Amazon Fire TV Sticks.
To access the service, simply search for “UKRP“, and download/install the app.
We have developed the Amazon Fire TV Stick service to match the user experience found on Freeview TVs, including the option to select/change ITV regions.
To access UK Radio Portal on Amazon Fire TV Sticks, please ensure that you have the following:
- An Amazon Fire TV Stick
- A broadband Internet connection with WiFi, of minimum 2Mbps
In January 2020, Digital TV Europe reported that Amazon had more than 40 million monthly active users of Fire TV devices. Considering this was at a time just before these devices had proliferated at a more global level, Amazon were also quoted as saying that they hoped to see that figure increase significantly over the coming months and years as they look to expand Fire TV outside the UK and Germany.
Whilst UKRP does not have an official figure for the number of Amazon Fire Stick devices presently in use in the UK market, our research suggested that there could be 10’s of millions of active UK users. Our research also suggested that a very high proportion of non-Freeview homes were active users of Amazon Fire TV Sticks, thus our early development and launch of UK Radio Portal to these Amazon devices.
Whilst all radio stations on the UK Radio Portal are asked to comply with the UK OfCom Broadcast Code & broadcast advertising rules (BCAP code), there is a risk that some unregulated content may be present since some radio stations are not licensed by OfCom. For this reason, we request that viewers/listeners proceed with caution, thus the cautionary messages being also present on compatible TV screens.
