Glass hosts the BBC Sounds app, and Radio 4 is, of course, available there, but I think it's only the FM output.

Unfortunately I suspect that's not possible: the BBC appear to bodge the presence of a long wave version of their schedule online via a specific URL, but as far as I can see it's not included in 'Sounds' itself. This perhaps isn't surprising as they've been hoping to dump LW transmission entirely for at least a couple of decades, so siphoning its output into their flagship internet distribution platform would seem rather anachronistic.

@Michele+corsie I did a quick check and can't see you can add thecdtation to the Radio Player app either.
