World Radio Network is run out of London and does have a sub-channel called 
"WRN from NPR" that has some NPR services.  But according to their schedule 
is on only 4 hours on weekdays (12mid to 4am Eastern Time) and doesn't have 
any of the NPR programs, just the top-of-the-hour news.

That's not to say it's bad....WRN is great for world news, but it's a 
little different than the BBC World Service, for example.  BBC-WS is a good 
"general overview" of what's going on all over the world, whereas WRN tends 
to focus on a specific region/country for each hour.
