Internet Radio in UK

[PerryM]

I have (a stereo pair) Google Nest speakers. They work fine and I can connect to BBC and principal UK Radio stations. I can also connect to streaming via an Amazon Prime account. What I cannot do is connect to Internet Radio. I particularly like Americana music. On my Alexa speaker, I can ask it to “Play Americana Music” and it plays a pseudo radio station playlist of Americana tracks. If I ask this on the Google Nest, it plays an album called “Americana Music” which is obviously a completely different thing. Some help here would be appreciated. There is no (AFAIK) UK Radio Station dedicated to Americana music.

Hi PerryM,

Thanks for reaching out to the community! I understand you're having trouble with your Nest Audio when you ask it to "play Americana music," as it plays an album instead of a playlist. You're looking for a way to get your Nest Audio to play a continuous stream of Americana music, like your other speaker. I'm here to help!

To isolate the root cause of this issue, I'd like to ask the following:

• When did you first notice this issue?
• What happens if you ask it to "play a playlist of Americana music"?
• Have you tried asking Google to play a specific, known Americana internet radio station by name?
• Did you receive an error when you tried to play the station?

Please keep me in the loop.

Sincerely,
Juan
