With all Google Al we are still not able to ask Google Home Nest, to play proper radio station?

[Maks-Zbogar]

When I ask Google Home Nest or any of my Google Home mini to "play Radio Brezice Eu from TuneIn" (our local radio station) I get all possible radio stations from countries 10000 km away from me. When I ask this same question Siri, it opens Apple Music app and plays correct radio station. Actually I ask Siri just to "play Radio Brezice Eu" and bang, never misses or play any other station.

Hi Maks-Zbogar,

Thanks for reaching out. I know how it feels when something isn’t working as it should. Check out the information below for the different ways to ask a speaker or display to play a radio station:

Listen to the closest radio station by name:

“Play Mega 97.9 FM," “Play ESPN Radio," “Play Mega 97.9 FM on TuneIn,” “Play Mega 97.9 on iHeartRadio”
 

Listen to the radio station by call sign:

"Play KQED"

Listen to the radio station by frequency:

“Play 98.5," “Play 98.5 on TuneIn," “Play 98.5 on iHeartRadio”

Listen to the radio station by frequency in another location:

"Play 98.7 New York"

Check out the article below to know more about it.

Listen to the radio on your Google Nest speaker or display

Regards,

Juni

Thank you Juni, I already knew all this and I have tried all of the variants in the last 6 years, but there are also Radio stations that don’t use FM broadcast frequency anymore. They are now pure internet radio stations. Apple Music also plays Radio stations from TuneIn directory. But when I say “Hey Siri, play Radio Brezice Eu” it simply plays it from any Apple device and from Apple Car Play too. I don’t know how, but it just worked from the beginning, when Apple included TuneIn Radio Stations in their Music app. Maybe this works only for our country because Apple narrows search results to nearby stations only. But since I have 5 Google Home devices at home (2 x Google Home Mini, 1 x Google Nest MIni, 1 x Google Nest Hub and 1 x Google Nest Hub 2), I can’t believe I can’t ask Google to play our local radio station. It always plays some station from Brasil (10.000 km away from me) which is very unreasonable. There is also a problem with all these devices that they became slow and unresponsive anyway. (It is not my wifi, since 3 Amazon Echo devices work ok.)

Hey Maks-Zbogar,

Chiming in, are you able to play other local stations? Also, does the same thing happen when you use the Google Assistant app on your phone?

Cheers,
