A method is described for delivering a radio programme consisting of music and speech portions. A live streaming Internet audio service at a predetermined URL 10 transmits the speech portions only of the radio programme to requesting users 13. This enables users to play back the speech portions of the programme as a live broadcast, and to play back previously stored music during the gaps between the speech portions. The previously stored music may be downloaded from a Website, which carries the music to be played on the programme. Alternatively, users may select their own choice of music. Preferably, the transmitted speech portions include coded signals indicating transitions between the speech portions and the music portions. The user device 13 may be a PC, a mobile phone, a PDA or a car radio for example.
