I have always listened to BBC on iTunes Radio, so was dismayed that today it just wasn’t there. Where did it go? I am so sick of these arbitrary changes. I’m about to dump my Mac after so many years of exclusinve use.

The BBC Internet Radio stations are still there. See iTunes 12 for Mac: Listen to Internet radio to make sure you're looking in the right place.

iTunes Radio is not the same now. What used to be known as iTunes Radio is now Internet streaming. Apple now uses "iTunes Radio" for its own subscription radio service.

Apple today officially ended free streaming of its iTunes Radio channels worldwide, incorporating the catalogue of stations into its subscription-based Apple Music service."
No, no no. I know about internet radio and firstly, it doesn't have much BBCyou mostly get a repetitive intoned message that "due to content regulation this program is not available"or some such .Secondly, I'm talking about the subscription radio that until recently had a BBC World Service Logo available that is now gone and has Bloomberg and NBC instead! Outrageous! I know I can listen to BBC directly from their own website, but it's an extra step to do it. So I've cancelled my radio subscription and set up a favorites button for BBC--and of course I can listen directly with apps on my phone and iPad. Apple is going down an increasingly stupid path to my mind.

How do you know it is Apple? It could be the BBC removing permission.
Like Limnos I suspect the controlling party here is the BBC not Apple.
