    My google home mini used to play Newstalk via TuneIn but for the last few days it cannot find it despite using lots of different ways of identifying the station.

    Just came across this thread....
    Emailed Newstalk this morning and posted in the Radio forum...
    Message read
    "I have been listening to Newstalk via my Smart Speaker, hey Google, play Newstalk but in the last few days it doesn't work any longer, BBC, RTE and other stations work as before but not Newstalk, response is "Sorry I cant play news from Newstalk yet"
    If is ask it to play Newstalk Radio Station I get the response "I looked for Newstalk but it either isn't available or cant be played right now"
    I see ye are pushing Alexa, is this to the detriment of Google home, something has changed recently"

    What other interesting stations do ye listen to, for me its BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio 4, BBC World Service and RTE1.

    By chance I heard Jess Kelly talkiing about this on Pat Kenny the other day.
    They are trying to sort it with google but said if you split the newstalk ..so instead of saying 'Newstalk' say 'News' 'Talk' and it may work.
