I have always been able to play BBC radio stations on my Home Hub by asking 'play radio 4', but today it just responds 'i can't do that on here'. What has changed?

Hey everyone,
I have some great news to share! This issue on BBC Radio should now be resolved. You can now go back to listening to your favorite BBC station on your speakers/display as normal. If for some reason you’re still experiencing problems, please try rebooting your devices to refresh the settings.
Cheers,

Was working for me this morning. Now my Home Min speaker, my Wifi point and my Nest Hub all tell me "I can't do that here" when asked to play BBC station. Other stations work fine.

Started working this morning. Gone again now

Same here! Something fishy is going on. Come on, Google - sort it out... I'm thinking of upgrading to one of those new-fangled radio things... CRAZY HUH!!! They're way more reliable. 😠

The strange thing is, it still listens to my partner when she puts BBC radio on, just not me. 🤔

Hi I live Niryhern Ireland up until a day ago I was able to get all radio stations on my Google mini speakers throughout the house.
Yesterday I can get all radio stations except the BBC range of channels. Anyone know why this is. I have reset all my speakers still I CANT DO THAT RIGHT NOW BUT I CAN PLAY IT ON YOUR OTHER DEVICES.
IM COMPLETELY BAFFLED.

There seems to be a few of us having this problem. I have 3 speakers not working. Reports sent to both Google and BBC so keep an eye out for a fix.
I've tried factory resets, setting changes and still no joy.
04-03-2023 08:05 AM
Thank you for getting in touch. I'm glad it's not something I'm forgetting to do my end.

If you are desperate for BBC then I found that I was able to cast it.tot the same speaker from my phone. It did take a couple of tries mind.
04-12-2023 11:04 AM
I have also reported to the bbc
04-12-2023 10:43 PM
Hi there - my situation is that there is no radio tile to tap so all radio plus tunein is not available
04-12-2023 10:47 PM
Hi there my problem is not just BBC there is no radio button to press in media settings to select tune in
04-03-2023 10:09 AM
Same here, since Saturday. Thought it was an April fools…
04-04-2023 01:13 AM
I have same problem
04-04-2023 02:46 AM
Try logging a report to BBC Sounds, the more the better I guess. Link below

I've just emailed Feedback on Radio 4 to ask the BBC to stop airing the Smart Speaker ad, as it is patently untrue. Hoping that it may raise it up the agenda of the BBC? If anybody else wants to do likewise, there may be strength in numbers?
04-07-2023 03:29 AM
I am having the same problem with BBC
04-09-2023 10:58 PM
Me too
04-04-2023 11:33 AM
This evening when I try to play any bbc radio stations from my speaker it says “I can’t do that here, but you can ask me to play it on one of your other devices ” it was playing fine earlier today and still plays other radio stations (heart etc) can anyone help?
04-04-2023 12:09 PM
I haven't got a solution, but it is happening to me too, Started just this evening ... reboots don't fix it ... all 3 speakers in the house affected.
04-04-2023 12:18 PM
Yes, I had had this same problem since yesterday (04/04/2023). Radio App doesn’t seem to be working & I can’t get 3AW Melbourne.
04-11-2023 08:45 PM
Same problem here. 3AW wont play
04-04-2023 12:18 PM

04-04-2023 01:10 PM
I can play BBC stations ok, but when my wife tries she gets the "I can't play that here" response, on the same devices.
04-09-2023 12:57 AM
Exactly what I get! Husband can make speaker work, I can’t! Sexist robot!
04-09-2023 11:40 PM
It's not a voice issue either. If I add "play BBC Radio 2" to a routine it works, if my wife does the same it says "can't be played please try on another device". This is baffling.
04-11-2023 01:25 AM
Does not work when we try this. Just get "cant ..." . Grrrr!
04-11-2023 01:23 AM
Interesting - does not work for us - tried with both of us using different accents!
04-04-2023 01:43 PM
same problem. Can someone at Google Nest help?!
04-04-2023 02:02 PM
Same thing happened to me this afternoon, so frustrating! Other radio stations are fine . A bbc problem I'm guessing
04-04-2023 02:06 PM
Same here. Used to work fine. Today all my speakers and displays started giving this message. We rely on listening to BBC and now our life has been turned upside down. Please Google do something to fix this.
04-04-2023 02:26 PM
Same problem - 3AW Melbourne won’t play. Just started this morning, was fine yesterday.
04-05-2023 12:58 AM
Working this afternoon - either that's great service from Google, or just a hitch??
04-06-2023 11:50 PM
Sane for me but gone again by the evening. This is getting SO aggravating.....
04-05-2023 12:57 AM
Similarly not working for BBC radio stations, been around a week, tried multiple resets/restarts and it's annoying that my other settings like default spotify account for the kids has been lost
04-05-2023 02:45 AM
... and this morning it is back! All working as it was here. My guess is that this was an update somewhere that had an unintended consequence.
04-09-2023 05:57 AM
Don't be too sure, I have had a stop start stop experience....
04-11-2023 12:09 AM
Unfortunately not. I'm still getting the same problem as others describe. It's been goung on for a few weeks now
