Has anyone had success asking Alexa to play our Villages radio station? Hubby needs to check for softball delays/cancellations and thought it would be easy for him to just ask Alexa to play. However, I can't seem to find a formula (call letters, frequency, etc) for Alexa to find it.

My Alexa isn't very smart either. We argue continually.

Step 1 - “Alexa open myTuner Radio”

Step 2 - “Play WVLG”). :thumbup:

Alexa says "can not find WVLG"....

Step 1 - SAY >> “Alexa, open myTuner Radio”

Alexa should acknowledge asking for the radio station you want to listen to.

Step 2 - SAY >> “Play WVLG”).

Well my Alexa is truly dumb. All she will say is "uhmmmm, can't find....".

I'll be a son of a gun. You're the man South Of The Border. Thank's. It worked. Another Miracle.

I just got a T.V. that can be controlled by Alexa, wish me luck.

The way I see it initially is that the T.V. should be handled the old fashioned way, with the remote. When I was living at home before remotes became popular I was the remote.

I'm not afraid of Alexa like some people are. What the hell is she going to hear that is that important anyway? My :1rotfl: TOTV'S :1rotfl: Password?
I need to learn more about how to operate it better. As of now, weather, date & time and Jokes and Jeopardy is about it.

:agree: Almost forgot I had one til reading this thread yesterday. Usually use for temp. and as a timer. Now back to listening to WVLG like we used to when we moved here. Back then we had 5 TVs and all were on ch.99 on ComCrap with WVLG playing in the background and the weather on the screen. :ho:
