For NAm (well, the USA now and perhaps Canada in our lifetime), most/ 
all of this has moved to satellite.  In very limited situations, some  
WS feature programming turns up on local FM or MW public radio  
channels; but the only way to really assure yourself of hearing what  
increasingly limited feature programming the BBC produces/carries in  
a "radio"-style form is via XM.  Sirius carries the news/current  
events stream only, which does have some further limited feature  
programming that fits the news/current events theme, on weekends.  WS  
has already announced that by spring it will have engineered a  
wholesale shift in its programming philosophy emphasizing news during  
the week and sending any feature programming it has left onto the  
weekends (presumably so they can shut down most of the news operation  
on weekends to save further money for only god knows what).

BBC has announced a significant expansion of DRM shortwave for Europe  
and, of course, there is the internet.
