If you do a 'view source' on the pop up player windows in Radio iPlayer
you'll see the URLs for Windows Media, Real and Flash streams all
embedded in the source code if they are available.
The World Service has no plans to drop the narrowband Windows Media and
Real Media streams.
BTW: The two World Service streams you mention on your webpage are the
core news network that provides only news programming, and a second
network which is (currently) based roughly on the European English
network that provides a mixture of News, Documentary and Entertainment
programming minus any rights restricted content. The World Service
stream linked to from iPlayer is based on the schedule used on the UK
digital networks, and so is a third different stream of our content. We
know it is confusing, and we are working on it.

Subject: [backstage] BBC News and other stuff not streaming
online in WMP any more?
I used to use the WMP feeds of News 24 and the other BBC
stuff a _lot_ on my mobile device - yet a few weeks ago (and
ever since), when I tried to load the streams - either on a
PC or my mobile device - they now don't work. The News 24
stream just shows a static BBC News image for 10 seconds and
then stops, and a few of the other streams are having problems too...
Has el Beeb abandoned their non-Flash streaming now, or are
the streaming links just buried away somewhere under a
different URL? I used to use the list I'd compiled on
http://3g.totallyowns.co.uk (cuz it does :P) but that's been
rendered somewhat useless to me in the interim if the
flippin' streams are just stopped without any prior warning.
My device plays Flash far worse than it does WMP (read: not
at all, unless it's embedded in a particular way into the
page, and it certainly can't handle realtime video streaming and
decoding) :(
