News Skill - Station Requests

It would make sense that “play NPR” and “play NPR news” would both provide the short clip. Only the keyword live would produce a continuous stream.

Two skills projects that are related that might get you started: Large effort… and Small effort…

Thanks for directing me to these. I tried the simple small effort as the other one seemed a little out of my league and I can only get it to throw errors. It has been a fun ride but for $15 I can have the ease of big Google spying on me and not spending hours trying to get simple tasks to function. Thanks for trying to help!

Hi Can anyone tell me how to issue the command to Play Spanish News using - RNE Spanish National News?

No matter what is said, whether Play RNE, Play Spanish National News, Play RNE Spanish National Radio etc. etc. it doesn’t play.

I can say Play BBC, CBC, DLF, PBS you get the picture, but not for love/money can I get RNE to play by issuing a voice command. Any suggestions welcome.

I’ve bodged it by setting RNE as the default for now but as we’re not native Spanish speakers it’s not ideal.

Thanks in advance
