This is also known as Minster FM. Curently this is Simon Mayo who used to work for radio !.
These are two totlay difrent radio stations. Having spent ages on the phone with Amazon we could not figure it out. Can you? If you try it now and hear Simon Mayo then that is not BBC radio York. I have just set an alarm for 5:05pm and I am listening to Steve wonder. Not Joanita Musisi playing inexcess.

You need to TYPE in the station name.

Tap Schedule
Choose frequency
Tap Add action. No Customised in list. Taped Music instead
Enter BBC Radio York
Select Tune in as provider

This says you must choose tunein for radio
Now to test it
When you test it Alexa says “I could not find a station called BBC radio York on Tunein.
Leaving this blank Alexa says can’t find...
However, If I simply say Alexa play BBC radio York, I don’t have a problem.
And by the way, phoned amazon about this before. I was talked through the whole process. Even Amazon could not understand why this was happening.
