You don't really need shortwave radio or satellite, either, for BBC.
It's on most NPR radio stations daily, several times throughout the
day and/or night.

You get an hour of The World, not the full riches of Worldservice.

Actually, it depends on the NPR affiliate station as to what, if any,
BBC WS programs are carried. WETA, a local NPR station in my listening
area, incorporates large chunks of BBC WS programming into their
weekday schedule: NewsHour from 9:00-10:00 am; the horrible World Have
Your Say program from 1:00-2:00 pm; and continuous overnight WS
programming from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am. Oh, and WETA does work in The
World, as well, from 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm. On the other extreme,
another NPR affiliate that I once listened to, WABE, to my knowledge
carries no BBC WS programming.
