Here you are:
'Why can't I listen to Football Commentary on my local radio station?
For a number of high profile sporting events, such as the Premiership, the BBC only holds the rights to broadcast live commentary locally to the area covered by our radio transmitters. Our internet service is available across the UK and around the world and therefore we need to blank all output for which we do not hold international rights. We apologise for any inconvenience, but you can still listen to live commentary from your local station on your radio.'
I am indeed aware of this and that's why I advised the OP to NOT get an internet radio if he wanted to listen to live premier league football on his local radio!0
