TuneIn no longer has BBC Radio

From September 20th 2019, the TuneIn service will no longer supply streams from the BBC for any of it’s radio stations.

This means that users of Amazon Alexa might not be able to listen to BBC stations without making some changes.

The BBC made the decision to end its partnership with TuneIn in August, stating that TuneIn had no means to allow BBC users to log into their accounts, and did not provide sufficient data back to the BBC on what users were listening to.

When we make our programmes available via third parties, we ask that those platforms either allow you to sign into your BBC account – or provide us with meaningful data directly. Unfortunately, TuneIn doesn’t do either of these, so we couldn’t reach a data sharing agreement with them.

The BBC radio stations will still be available on Android and iOS via the BBC sounds, BBC iplayer and the Radioplayer app, SONOS users will still be able to user TuneIn to receive BBC stations as no easy alternative is available. Amazon Alexa users will need to use the new BBC Alexa skill to access BBC Stations.
