This has been much discussed elsewhere e.g. Further update on the BBC and TuneIn
In short the BBC wish to promote their own app and have withdrawn access to BBC on Tunein (in UK only) on any platform where they think you can instead use their app/skill - e.g. smartphones, Amazon Echo
Unfortunately many Alexa features only work with Tunein stations, like setting alarms, multi-speaker/stereo, and casting to a Sonos
The BBC believed that Amazon would change Alexa so that the BBC Skill would then work in the same way, but this is not happening. You can now start a skill at a certain time with a routine but this does not work as an alarm clock.
Despite all the negative feedback the BBC refuse to roll back their changes. |
