When the EPL signed their last radio rights deals "world rights" went to TalkSports who carry commentary from every game on their app. But the deal also gave BBCWS the right to pick up the BBC domestic feed for a game on Saturday and a game on Sunday. So the World Service usually features second half commentary on Saturday's and sometimes more than that on Sunday.
Additionally BBC WS also still has FA Cup games and the Champions League Final.

I think the only footy that BBC covers anymore (and someone can correct me if I雋 wrong) are some select FA Cup matches, which at best are blacked out on 5 Live streams. Today, the sums that Sky and BT are shelling out are somewhat absorbed by advertising revenue on TV. That would have to be recouped at the BBC via their UK-only licensing fee. I may be mixing radio and TV metaphors here, but therein lies another part of the problem: Brits would be paying a much larger licensing fee for the whole world if audio were broadcast on the WS again - that part would clearly have to change. What零 interesting is that part of the issue here is why broadcasting rights are so high to begin with, something that they also dealt with in Spain recently (all of La Liga was on strike because of a rights disagreement).
