Now that the BBC no longer uses Shoutcast are there any internet radio

I don't know what you mean by internet radio programs, but you can
listen to the Beep with any browser, bbc.co.uk -> click on sounds and
select your preferred station.

That doesn't work very well on a headless Pi! :-)
 What I was looking for was something like the old 'radiotray' which
one could run on the command line (with station name as a parameter)
and the requested program would play on the audio output.
 

Basically everybody except Classic FM has ditched icecast/shoutcast in order to require you to listen to more ads and give them an email address to spam
Unless you buy a DAB radio which will last a couple of years until they change the format again to force you to buy a new one
