I live in Chicago and didn't find the UK restriction on the windows Media link. I used Replay A/V to capture all the URL's generated by the Windows Media stream when played using the BBC iPlayer. When I opened:
mms://wmlive-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms%5Cradio1%5Cradio1_nb_e1s1 in Winamp, Radio One played, using winamp's Windows media codec. it took a little getting used to hearing a host speaking American English on the BBC. I've listened to the World Service on shortwave for years and am now sampling all BBC stations on the Internet. For those who aren't aware, the BBC stopped shortwave broadcasts to North America.
