This integration is currently unavailable due to an outage, but you have been able to ask Google Assistant to play radio stations on all of your devices for a long time. This capability has not been disabled by the company.
On phones, requests for stations like “Hey Google, play Kiss FM” are getting responses like “isn’t available or can’t be played right now.” Google Associate’s radio mix is down across portable, brilliant showcases, speakers, and auto.
It appears that this issue began a few days ago.
The business is “actively restoring service.” The full statement from Google this morning regarding the “radio disruption” can be found below:
Users globally have been facing issues when attempting to trigger radio stations on Assistant. The issue is being experienced across all surfaces (incl. Speakers, displays, mobile, and auto), and most radio providers. The Assistant team is actively working on restoring service. We will provide an update here as soon as the issue is fixed.
Google claims that this is a global problem that affects “most radio providers.” Local public radio stations like the BBC and SiriusXM, which you can connect to in Assistant Settings, have been the subject of reports from individuals all over the world who are experiencing issues. To alleviate user complaints, the error message that the Assistant returns ought to be slightly more descriptive.
