Thanks to all who have replied.  It turns out too much code was on case
statement and once I cleared that the script now works as expected.
Here's the working version:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# file: bbc.sh
PS3="Enter a number to Choose station: "
select station in bbc1 bbc-1-extra bbc-2 bbc-3 bbc-4 \
		       b		  bc-4-long-wave-and-shipping bbc-4-extra bbc-5 \
bbc-6-music bbc-world-service quit
do
    case $REPLY in
