Playing BBC Radio on Home hub (again)

[hoarwithy]

This problem (last reported in 2023) appears to be back again.

I have always been able to play BBC radio stations on my Home Hub by asking 'play radio 4', or 'play radio 3' but the last few days it just responds 'i can't do right now, but you may be able to play it on your other devices' or 'I've looked for BBC radio but can't find it'.

What has changed?

I have had the same problem over the last three days, but, as far as I can tell, only with BBC Radio 3.

Same problem and only with Radio 3.  I suspect that Google have done something (an update) and this has messed up the link to Radio 3.

You are correct - it does indeed appear to be Radio 3. I have also reported it to BBC and this FAQ has now appeared on their website:

BBC Radio 3 now seems to be playable on Home hub - thanks for everyone's reports

Great. Thanks to whoever resolved the issue and to everyone else for bringing it to the attention of the relevant people.
