In the future, what will be interesting is if the AAC formatted files (if that's what they choose) can be "stripped" out of the iPlayer format, which the BBC is trying to herd all of us to...
Unfortunately there's a trend towards embedded audio (and video) players that don't use the good ol' .MP3, .ASX, etc.... formats. Helpfully, the Public Radio Fan website (http://www.publicradiofan.com/) can lead you to other broadcasters who are streaming BBC WS programming live at the same time the BBC is airing it...and their offerings may still be accessible via Reciva's index, or could be programmed into one of the memories (if they exist) in the radio. Examples would be Norway's NRK All-news channel which relays World Service programming their overnights and weekends; WYPR Baltimore's HD2 stream, which is a 24/7 offering of the APM version of the World Service...hopefully these folks will continue to use URLs and file formats that will be easy for Reciva players to digest...
