I've only listened to BBC's 1xtra site (No slags please :D) http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/ and they've got the option of Media Player or Real Player, what everybody should have. Given Microsoft's dominance you'd swear that everyone would offer a Media Player option, but Ed's hit the nail on the head with the option of all three.

If I didn't know better I'd say you were a Microsoft fanboy! What they really should do is cater for everyone ... the feed is RAW audio anyway, so why not just have a Quicktime button, Real Audio and Windows Media options? The decency to use Windows Media ???

The BBC uses Real Player, not Media Player, as their (main/only?) format. When I was first using web radio, I’m sure Media Player couldn’t even handle streaming media. I'd say RTE picked Real at a time Microsoft had no streaming format. The Real Player streaming format, not the Media Player format, is the most common/standard web radio format.
