I am in Chicago and I can listen to all the numbered BBC stations. Siri wants me to install the podcasts app for BBC World Service. Are you just craving BBC news? I listen to the World Service and it has changed a lot since I started listening on shortwave in the early 1990s. Now, listeners here many people without British upper class accents, including Indians. Also, the tone is decidedly leftist and globalist. I listen to many other news sources.
