The BBC recently removed its radio HLS streams, but replacements have been found by Garfield Lucas and posted on his Garfnet web site: Latest BBC HLS streams
I have found that if you copy/paste the rewindable 320k stream links from the text files he provides, the Wiim player plays the stream fully rewound, i.e. 6 hours behind live, with no means to scroll through the timeline. Support for that would be nice, since it would be one alternative solution to the problem with trying to use Alexa (see Rewinding live BBC radio with Alexa commands).
The non-rewindable stream links do work, but used as-is they stream at 96k. To get the higher quality 320k streams, it’s just a metter of editing the url and replacing 96000 with 320000.
