This is true!  Just over the past week or so, I too have discovered 
(accidentally by just tuning around that BBC Servicio Latinoamericano 
puts a pretty good signal on a couple of frequencies to North 
America.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/spanish/tuning_in/default.stm
has frequency and time information.  

Also BBC Mundo is a 24/7 service in Spanish on Sirius Satellite 
Radio.  News programs predominate during the week; music predominates 
on the weekend.

Furthermore, although the BBC web site makes no mention of this, I 
distinctly heard a Portuguese language broadcast from at least 0230-
0300 UT on 9515 kHz. before that frequency turned over to a Spanish 
broadcast at 0300.

Nothing from there suitable for eastern North America.  No doubt 9740 
still works for some on the west coast...
