Automation for radio alarm no longer works for BBC Radio 2. Plays Spotify instead

I’ve been using automation to set radio alarm playing BBC Radio 2 successfully for months. It now only plays a Spotify selection of BBC 2 tracks. 
The device has been reset to factory setting and no difference to the functionality

Hi @Stevemedia 

As you've probably guessed this is down to Spotify checks taking precedence over all other commands and there now happening to be a Spotify playlist in existence called BBC Radio 2 live.

Fortunately there is a easy solution to this is and it just needs a small adjustment to the routine that you have created. In the routine where you have used  the words 'BBC Radio 2' change this to 'BBC Radio 2 from the BBC'.

Adding those words of 'from the BBC'  should then solve this annoying problem.

I tried this on my speakers and it worked.

 

Thank you. Fingers crossed for the morning.
