2 speakers not playing radio from tunein where they did before.

I ask them to play a radio station and they say they're going to but there's silence.

No radio station works that I've tried. 

Abc radio national, abc capricornia, abc new radio.

I'm in Australia.

Yes have reset speaker.

Have turned both speakers and the modem off for over 2 minutes and still not working.

I have the same problem in Montreal with Google home mini, tunein is not working.

Any cues?

 

Robert

Hi Google Nest speaker support, the Tunein connection with my preferred Montreal Radio-Canada FM 98,5 broadcast is still not working.

 

Any cues when it will get resolved?

 

Robert

Oups. my Radio-Canada FM frequency in Montreal is 97,5 FM.

 

Robert

Again, Sorry, the Radio-Canada frequency is 95,1 FM in Montreal.

Hey folks,

 

Thanks for sharing details about the issue here, and my apologies for the delays.

 

I know how challenging it is when you're having issues listening to your favorite radio station on your Google Home/Nest device. A few questions: when did the issue start? Are you able to play other radio stations from TuneIn? Is the station working on TuneIn app or website? Does the same issue happen when you use the Google Assistant app on your phone?

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Cheers,

Muddi

Hi Muddi.

It started a few weeks ago.  Yes, I can play other stations and if I say, "Hey google, play ABC Radio" it will play the same radio station each time, which is says is "ABC radio north".  So that's good, but ABC has several radio stations and I like 3 of them.  I can't get two of them.   Yes, I can play them on the Tune-in app but if I try to cast to either of my speakers it says it will, but just keeps "buffering".  All three stations play from the google assistant on my phone.    I have since found this on the ABC website:  https://help.abc.net.au/hc/en-us/articles/4401957389967?input_string=abc+stations+on+smart+speakers

Does this mean it's something Google can't rectify?

It still doesn't work. It's worked in the past then stopped then started again now it's stopped again.
