radio news

---

This skill allows you to listen to the live streaming of news radio stations worldwide. More than 660 countries are available. For music stations, please try my other skill "world music radio"

When you launch this skill, you will be able to select the news radio stations among the following list :
- LBC News
- LBC
- Smooth radio (not entirely a news radio)

In order to listen to LBC News, just say 'open LBC News'.
In order to access directly LBC News when you launch the skill, say "Alexa, ask radio news to open LBC News"

You can also ask for the radio of another country. For example, if you want to listen to an American radio, say "go to the United States". Same for any other country listed below.

The United Kingdom, France, Quebec (Canada), the United States and Venezuela are the only countries that give you the choices between several radios.

For France, you have the choice between :
- France bleu
- France info
- France inter
- France culture
- BFM
- RTL

For the United States :
- Fox news
- Bloomberg
- WNYC radio



The other countries have only one radio. So, if you say "go to Mexico", the skill will automatically start playing W Radio.
In order to launch the skill so that it starts directly in Mexico, say : "Alexa, ask radio news to go to Mexico"

Important notes:
1) to change radio station or country, you have to stop the skill and restart it.
2) shortcut to access a country directly, when you launch the skill
say for example : "Alexa, ask radio news to go to Mexico"
3) shortcut to access a radio station directly when you launch the skill
say for example: "Alexa, ask radio news to open fox news"
4) when only one radio station is available for a given country, it is better to ask for the country rather than for the radio station.

"go to Pakistan" is better than "open dunya news" as the country name will be more easily understood by the skill.
5) Depending on the country, not all the radio stations are necessarily 100% dedicated to news information.

If you are eager to have a radio from a specific country, do not hesitate to submit the request.
You can do so by creating an issue at https://github.com/iclman/alexa_radionews/issues

Radios for Morocco, Quebec, United Kingdom and Venezuela have already been added based on requests made. So far, there is a technical issue to add BBC Radio 4 or BBC News radio.
