Radio Caroline's Alexa Skill

Amazon Echo Smart Speaker owners can now use a dedicated Radio Caroline Album Service ‘Skill’ (App) to listen. Using our Skill ensures that you get to the station you want to listen to with no risk of another station playing in error.

As the popularity of smartspeakers has grown over the past few years, we find many more listeners are using them to listen to Radio Caroline at home rather than a pop-up player on a computer.

Amazon normally uses the TuneIn radio station catalogue to find radio stations, and as many have discovered, this can be somewhat hit or miss, often returning the wrong station. An Alexa Skill prevents that by tying a specific invocation like 'Alexa, play Radio Caroline' to our audio stream.

To access the Radio Caroline skill say to your Amazon device "Alexa*, enable Radio Caroline skill."

Thereafter, you'll be able to say "Alexa*, play Radio Caroline" or "Alexa*, open Radio Caroline" and your device will play us.
