Title: Music/Radio Alarms in UK
Post by: seamus01 on December 13, 2017, 06:41:12 am: I read on some UK sites that this feature was available (from earlier this week). I cant get it to work. Has anyone in the UK got this working? Id like to say "Alexa set an alarm for 7am weekdays with Radio Two"

Post by: Scotty65 on January 12, 2018, 08:05:49 am: I also failed to get this working despite the daily express saying it was activated in the UK as of Dec last year....I spoke to Echo tech support last night, and it's not available. I really wish they would give us this update!

Say "Alexa set an alarm for 7am weekdays with Radio Two on TuneIn"
(you need to specify the source!)
[Edit] Oops, sorry, might have been working for me because I set my Amazon account as US #facepalm
