Play all of BBC radio Apps
receive an audible instruction asking
you to do so if you simply ask to
play the radio in the future without
quoting the BBC. Once this is done,
however, you are free to play any of
the BBC radio stations at any time
using Google Home.
When you say the words ‘BBC
radio’ followed by the station
number it will begin to play on
your preferred device and it is quite
impressive how if, for example,
you say “Play BBC Radio 1 on my
living room TV” the TV will turn
on and start playing the station
immediately. The fact that all of the
BBC stations are automatically available through Google Home,
and indeed a raft of other stations from different providers, makes
the setup even more useful and impressive because it gives a
glimpse of just how much is on offer. It also highlights the way that
Google Home benefits anyone who uses the system because it
has an unrivalled ability to seamlessly connect you to thousands
of different apps, games and services through a few spoken
instructions, and behind all of this are countless podcasts, radio
stations and music tracks to back everything up. If you are new to
Google Home the way the radio stations work offers a glimpse of
what you should do in the early stages. No matter what you want
to access, ask Google Home and if it does not work you’ll soon find
out how to set it up. Chances are that many more services than you
may expect will work out of the box with no user intervention at all,
which shows just how complete the system is now. If you enjoy BBC
radio content, your Google Home device offers an entirely new way
to enjoy it all on every device.
