My nest has stopped playing Newstalk 106fm radio (Irish radio station) on TuneIn. It will play RTE or Sunhine106.8 ok, but cannot "find" Newstalk. How can I resolve? I've tried the obvious initial remedies like switching everything off and on again, etc., to no avail.

I had exactly the same problem. I used to just say "play newstalk" or play "newstalk from tunein", but doesn't work anymore. A quick google brought me to this and other forums. Another forum just suggested you say "Play Newstalk FM". I just tried it and miraculously it worked. Give it a try.

Just say newstalk fm

I have been on to Google but they have no solution

Can't get any Irish radio stations on my Google speaker since I moved to Sky Ireland last week. Google speaker does tell me that 'I'm in Ireland'. BBC Radio 2 works fine. Previously Newstalk, Today FM & Antenne Bayern worked but no more.

I now get the message 'This station is not available in your country' for Newstalk, Sunshine, RTE etc

Alexa works ok for me, issue seems to be with Google & TuneIn

That's interesting PugMugget. Thanks. I've emailed Newstalk and suggested that their customers for advertising can't be happy that this issue exists.

RTE radio 1 works fine for me. I used it this am.

Newstalk 106fm still not available on the Google nest. It either gives Sunshine 106.8 if I ask for Newstalk 106fm or, if I just ask for Newstalk radio, I get some inane presenters on a station from Dayton, Idaho, engaging in idiotic groupthink!

My nest is exactly the same since last week. I can't get newstalk but I can get any other station

Didn’t work for me! Have tried every which way!!

Strange Cosie. With mine, the voice message from the nest says "Streaming 107 point O FM Newstalk", but then the usual ads play and following that Newstalk 106 fm comes on.
01-06-2024 02:15 AM
Excellent, works for me too
01-25-2024 12:43 PM
Hi folks,
Thanks for reaching out. We are glad that smurphy99's suggestion worked. For those who are still having concerns about playing this station, try to reboot your Google Nest speaker or display, then try it once more.
Regards,
Juni

@Juni rebooting doesn’t help so no point in doing that. Asking for “newstalk FM” does work! So it would be best to stick with that.

Very helpful...thanks!
12-30-2023 08:34 AM
Thank you! This works for me as well.

Ask Google for Newstalk FM.
Just worked for me.
01-01-2024 02:49 PM
Thanks Newstalk back 👍

Play Newstalk FM is not working with my Google nest
01-26-2024 02:42 AM
I still have not been able to get Newstalk Moatter what way I’ve tried.

Hi Cosie,
What Google Nest speaker do you own? Are other radio stations working? Are you getting the same response when you use your phone’s Google Assistant?
I look forward to your response.

Juni

As per above. Just say “Hey Google, play newstalk FM”. It really is that simple.

Doesn't work on my Google nest mini.
Most elegant solution at this point was the purchase of an Amazon Alexa.

Sorry rory121, I can't advise as the issue must be now particular to the "mini"
