Sorry I didn't reply straight away.

Looking at the IMDA file (which holds the URLs for streams which 
internet radios access - see MUK thread for the URL) there's clear 
groups of stream URLs: one lot for UK IPs and one lot for international.

International listeners are served their choice of

HLS/DASH:
48 kbps HE-AAC v1 (sbr_vlow)
96 kbps HE-AAC v1 (sbr_low)

Shoutcast: 128 kbps MP3

CBeebies radio is only available in the UK.

Strangely World Service is only available as 48 kbps MP3 to either UK 
or International.
