Live Radio

I want to be able to listen to live radio on my Desire. I am particularly interested in the regional BBC stations. I want to use it when watching my local football team play. There is always a live commentary being done on a local radio station for the area of the opposition, and I like to be able to listen to it on the internet via my Desire. However, when I google and then go the the local radio station website, and I then click on listen live, it just links me to BBC iplayer and I can't get anything beyond that. One exception was radio tees this last week. I managed to get the whole broadcast. When I clicked on the link from that website, I got to another page (not bbc iplayer) that enable me to click listen live and get the commentary. Other stations, such as three counties radio, radio sussex etc, don't work and direct me to the iplayer. If I can do it for radio tees, presumably I should be able to do it for the other stations?
Help please? I don't mind buying an app to do it.
 
hi go in to the market type in radio then look out for the app whats says TUNE IN RADIO it`s free and has eveything you want local radio ,talksport,radio 5 and much more
 
I agree about TuneIn Radio. Installed it about a month ago and it works perfectly. It's especially good for listening to us thrash the Aussies at cricket as I can plug in the earphones and listen to BBC TMS in bed all night without annoying the wife :D
 
I don't think bbc lets you listen to local football broadcasts over the internet, i have tryed a few times when my team has played away and you get some message that says they can't braodcast the commentry because of contractual obligations, or someting like that,it's a bit annoying really.

At last! Thanks.

I've tried several different Ice/Shout cast programs, but none will find my local station (Wave 105), but this does. Excellent.
