Radio rights?

    Hope someone here can help me.

    I listen to football on the radio a lot due to work etc.
    I use Tunein app on the iphone or tablet and most Monday night or midweek games do not play due to "no rights in your country".

    So does anyone know what radio station does have the rights?

    I have tried all the usual BBC's and their local stations also.
    Also tried Talksport but none seem to work.

    Weekends don't matter its only mid week games that this bothers me with.

    Thanks.

    Sometimes the local radio station for the teams involved will have commentary that are not blocked by these rights issues - I often listen to Radio London 94.9 for example -

    NewsTalk and TodayFM have the EPL rights in Ireland, but they choose not to use them during the week

    Thats a waste and not fair to fans who want to listen to the games.

    it is what it is though.

    It's obviously not viable for them to carry commentary during the week - radio listenership is tiny after the "drive-time" slot

    Oh I understand but the fact that we are blocked from all mid week games just annoys me.
    And as you know its all about me ! :D:p
