Alexa and BBC Sounds

    Alexa no longer plays BBC domestic stations on Tune-in. This is a move by BBC to more accurately track who's listening, apparently.

    To get BBC radio, you need to use the BBC Sounds skill and log into a BBC account. So far so good...

    I created a BBC Sounds account and linked it to Alexa as prompted.

    However, since doing that I can't open the BBC Sounds skill on my Echo Show - Alexa hears ABC Kids (I think) when I say BBC Sounds.

    On my Phone app it works just fine.

    Any thoughts on how to get it working properly.

    So is it just me or does it work for anyone?

    Well, thanks for all the help! Just for the record, the Echo Show had its language set to US English. Setting to UK English sorted it.
