    Yeah, it responds to that request but plays a different Christmas FM. Its Christmas FM Classics. Be interested to know if your daughter is listening to the correct station :) and if so, what skill did you add ?

    I only copped that I was listening to the wrong station yesterday!

    Nope, not for me. I wonder would it be something to do with my account linked to a uk address...... (parcel motel)

    Unless you've a skill enabled ?

    Could be, she definitely listening to the right one, but address is home address.

    She just told me she says Alexa play Christmas FM on tune in live.

    She has it on near 25hours if she could...

    I just say ‘Alexa Christmas fm from tune in ‘ and it’s Irish one. Have you played it on your app on iPhone?

    Use the Alexa app on your phone. Go to TuneIn and search for Christmas FM.

    Doesn't work when I talk to Alexa have to use app.

    Works fine on iPhone or laptop via tunein .thing is I have Alexa connected yo a sound system via audio out. Not the end of the world as I can just tune it in on 105.2. Just annoying me that I can’t do it and you guys can :D

    Must be the UK address (which I set up for prime content way back).

    SORTED:)

    changed the address from ireland to UK in Alexa profile and now works fine
    with "Alexa, Christmas FM...".

    Very weird. With the location set to Ireland, it plays Christmas FM classics station and when set to UK address, it plays Christmas FM !

    I thought it was set to UK, but I was mistaken.
