The user interface doesn't even function the same way within an app. Click on the BBC Radio 4 logo in BBC Sounds app and BBC Radio 4 starts playing. Click on a local radio logo and you get the schedule for that station and it doesn't start playing. In fact, unless I'm missing something there is no 'Listen live' button for the local stations at all, you need to scroll through the schedule to the current time and play the current programme to listen to the station live.

Not sure which version of the app you’re using, but I’ve just tapped on the Radio York icon on the wheel of logos on the iPhone app home screen and it started playing immediately.

Only if you go into the ‘Stations & schedules’ section do you have to scroll down to the current show to start it playing, but that’s no different to any of the other stations, as far as I can see.
