I just tried playing several BBC Radio stations here (in the U.S.). Results:
- BBC Radio 1 and 2 – Wouldn't play
- BBC Radio 5 Live – Caused Music to hang for a long time
It doesn't look like the BBC has decided to restrict these stations to UK residents.

I had no problem accessing BBC Radio 1 and 2 via the Web using the links on the BBC site.
On Apple's System Status page, Apple Music is currently shown as working, with a note "Resolved Performance" (referring to some issues that people were experiencing earlier).
You may want to submit feedback to Apple.
