Talksport world commentary rights

I understood that talksport had radio rights for world wide commentary of EPL until 2018/19 season?

Everything has worked fine the last few years, but this season I am getting "Due to right restrictions, this live broadcast cannot be broadcast in your area"

Just to note I am in Poland and not Ireland anymore (Last 3 years).

Ive tried the website, tunein etc etc, but to no avail. It came in dead handy listening in the car when not home.

Have the rights changed or is it a technical issue?

Maybe looking at this the European rights ended last season, but world wide rights are still on going until 2018/19??

Hmm, according to a more recent article:

In addition, after securing the exclusive global audio rights to the Premier League in 2012, talkSPORT now broadcasts every Premier League match live across the world in multiple languages, with partnership agreements in place in 69 countries. This agreement will run throughout the next three seasons until 2018/19.

Unless Poland isn't one of the 69 partners? Or maybe a Polish station airs the talkSport broadcasts.

This was the response I got from talksport. But I haven't a clue how I actually listen to it, I have the app but now where is the EPL mentioned!
