BBCWS has been streaming Sports World since the beginning of the Premiere League Football season and perhaps a bit before that.

I'm not sure that Audience Relations isn't confused about some of its own stuff. In the past, the all-news stream was not quite identical to the PRI stream, with the latter carrying a smattering of "feature" programs that the all-news stream didn't have. It may have changed, perhaps as a cost-cutting move; but it could be confusing because the differences between the two have never been all that dramatic. What tipped me off to the change at Sirius/XM was hearing Newshour at 1400 UT over WNNZ 640 in Westfield MA (which is 50kW daytime/1kW nighttime) about 85 miles from my QTH, but hearing Assignment on Sirius at that time when I used to hear Newshour there as well. Good news for sports fans, though. It appears that there are no longer any rights restrictions preventing the World Service broadcasts of English Premier League matches from being streamed over the internet.
