Title: How to ask Alexa what radio station is playing? (Am not using Tunein)
Post by: xFlip on April 02, 2021, 06:10:17 pm
I listen to various radio stations on my Echo and they usually have their own skill.  Sometimes I use the MyTuner skill.

What do I say to get Alexa to tell me the name of the station that's playing?



(I don't use Tunein.)

Alexa uses Amazon streeming music channels. If you ask for songs by Beyonce that is what you get. Like youtube. So some stations you ask for can't be recognised. If for example you ask for BBC radio York and then ask for the name of the station you will ger "MMM I don't know that one".

I get that too!  Alexa does know the radio station playing because the Alexa app will show the station playing under "Activity".
