With this WSKG Skill, you can access live news programs, classical music, and the best of public radio programs. Programs from NPR, the BBC, PBS, and, of course, WSKG are available at your convenience. Along with these on-demand programs, WSKG Public Media also offers two live streams. WSKG Radio airs "Trusted News, Thoughtful Conversations", while WSKG Classical is mostly classical, with some weekend blues, americana and folk.
Once you've enabled the skill, say "Alexa, open WSKG", then follow its directions. Once loaded, just remember the magic words, “Alexa, ask WSKG to….”
For example, you can say:
"Alexa, ask WSKG to listen live" and you’ll hear WSKG Radio. “Alexa, ask WSKG to play news” and you’ll hear live news coverage on WSKG. "Alexa, ask WSKG to play classical" and you'll hear music from WSKG Classical. “Alexa, ask WSKG to play the PBS NewsHour (or some other program)” and you’ll hear the latest edition. “Alexa, ask WSKG to browse programs,” and Alexa will list all the shows offered by the WSKG Skill.
