BBC uses RealAudio streamed through RTSP and PNM protocols for their on demand and live streams. PNM protocol is rather obsolete and not supported by many newer stream recorders. In the majority of cases you may change pnm:// onto rtsp:// in a stream URL and record the strean using RTSP protocol. See our FAQ on Recording media streamed through PNM protocol for more.

Like any other audio stream, BBC radio station can be recorded using Direct sound recording software. To avoid problems like buffering, quality loss and to download on demand streams faster it is preferable to use streaming media recorders supporting RealAudio/RealVideo streamed through RTSP protocol.
