The American version of the BBC website, bbcamerica.com, is devoted to entertainment for the most part. Scrolling the top are plugs for The Tudors, Ramsay's Best Restaurant and Anglophenia.
As far as I know, the BBC News site for us yanks is identical to the version served to you in the UK. I don't believe bbc.co.uk uses geolocation content filtering or modification. bbc.com and bbc.co.uk appear to be resolving to the same address as well.
bbc.co.uk does have "Battles in Tunis as key aide held" as its top story as I write this, so it is not like Americans are blocked from seeking out information using the same sources as the rest of the world.

Only thing the BBC do is serve ads to non-UK viewers. The website is the same for everyone otherwise.
BBC America is just a TV channel; that's why that website is entertainment-based.
