I've had the same issue since 4th October also. None of the BBC stations play on my Nest Mini. It'll say ok, then silence. I called Nest Home support & they think it's the BBC's servers. The agent I spoke to said they can't do anything better it's a BBC server issue (they think)

Same here, although it's only the Nest WiFi point in the kitchen, the one I always use for BBC radio, that's not working. The other one that I rarely use for radio is still working fine. In the kitchen, I ask for radio 1 and it says OK playing Radio 1 from the BBC and then silence.

Factory reset had no effect either.

It's notable that the BBC station icon is visible on the Google Home app. - but the station is paused and won't play.

I haven't got an answer, but I have the same problem. I have several speakers, but only one is affected. It used to work, but just decided not to work for BBC radio channels only. I have tried lots of resets etc, but nothing works for voice requests. Other methods of streaming to it do work, but I want voice demands to be my way of selecting bbc radio. The device responds exactly as I would expect, the only problem being that the radio audio does not appear.

Google home not playing bbc radio stations

Why does my google home device suddenly not play bbc radio stations. I have requested it in the last 2 days and the google home device just stays silent? Not even an error message?

Same. No changes made to anything and it's only used to play BBC stations and news mostly. No error messages.. just silence. Following 🙂

May be connected. Just downloaded phone app 'tuned in' to listen to radio 1 and it says it's not available in your region (it is I live in a Midlands town UK)

Exactly the same as above...always use BBC radio stations and when asked to play them it stated streaming to BBC radio 2 etc and then goes silent ...no statement as to why, plus plays other radio stations okay I have rebooted several times but no change ...HELP very frustraing

Factory reset for Google nest? does it work to restore connectivity to BBC radio stations?

Oldbill70 — Sat, 09 Oct 2021 11:20:55 GMT

Help I've tried rebooting several times the Google Nest but it still will not connect to BBC radio stations, other radio stations YES...Should I complete a factory reset, has anyone else tried this and had success?
