I tried that too and it seems the only radio app available apart from TuneIn is
RadioPlayer which does pretty much the same job. However, I do like the dot as
an internet radio device.

Subject: [access-uk] MORE DOT QUESTIONS
Thanks to all for previously helpful tips. Here are some more questions.
1. I have checked a number of options in the flash briefings list in the
app on my phone including Sky News, Radio 4 World Service and The guardian.
When I ask Alexa for the news she automatically plays Sky News. How do I get
her to play latest news from Radio 4? When I’ve asked she’s played the r4
live stream from tune-in. Sky News seems to be the default briefing,
followed by any of the others you have ticked.
2. If I want news from the guardian how do i get her to give me that? Say:
"Alexa, open the Guardian." You will get a welcome message, then follow the
choices she offers you.
3. Are any of these services chargeable? for instance I notice that this
full audio of The Economist but I assume you need a subscription? Similarly
the Wall Street Journal is, I know, subject to a pay wall. The Guardian
isn't subscription-based, not sure about any of the other newspapers.
4. How do I add things like the iPlayer or iPlayer Radio app? You can go
into Skills and add those that way, or ask her to activate the various
skills for you. Say: "Alexa, activate RadioPlayer." Similarly, you can ask
her to turn on Bluetooth so you can pair it with your phone.
thanks again for any help.
