I've got several home hubs, and have a good morning routine that does things like turning lights on, opening curtains, and playing a particular radio station for me on my speaker group.
This last week the playing of the radio station fails to run across all devices. I've tried changing it yo just the speaker on my bedroom, and amending the name of the radio station, but nothing works. The lights come on as programmed and curtains open etc.
This problem has arisen multiple times over the years. Hopefully this is a 'bug' that is being fixed?

Adding to say, I can start playing the radio station I want by voice command, but it's not working as a radio media alarm.
The station is BBC Radio 1 which plays on the BBC Sounds App.
It is failing across multiple devices, including Google Nest Hub, Google Nest Hub Max, Google Nest Mini.

@Keri Google hasn't had "Media Alarms" for a long time. Their music needs to be started from an Automation after a scheduled starter
Alexa has Media Alarms, but Google does not
Have you opted into public preview?
Are you using a custom command or Media action (Play and Control Media) in the automation?
In an Automation try using the radio station's frequency (eg 103.7)
