    The BBC fell out with TuneIn radio and blocked their service so basically you can't get live BBC on Alexa anymore

    You can't listen to football commentary via Alexa but you can ask it to play radio Sheffield

    It doesn't work for me or anyone else in my family (who don't live with me) with Alexa enabled devices, all any of us get is BBC sounds which is just random songs no matter what you ask it to play. I've googled it and all I find is that TuneIn was disabled and therefore it no longer works.

    I ask Alexa to play "BBC Radio Sheffield". Always works for me.

    You can get BBC Radio Wales live. Not tried any others.
