As of today the Music App on my Apple TV will no longer play BBC Radio 3. The Icon for Radio 3 is displayed but when clicked it immediately disappears. The music app plays other BBC radio stations. Radio 3 is available on my MacBook in Safari however.
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16
Hi there BobWilcox,
If you follow the steps below to search for BBC Radio 3, are you able to play it from there?
1. Open Musicon Apple TV, then select Radio in the menu bar.
2. Do any of the following:
* Use Siri: Press and hold the Siri buttonon the Siri Remote.
* Siri: Say something like:
* “Play Wild 94.9”
* Browse stations: Navigate down to Broadcast Radio, then select a radio station in the row to start playing it.
* Search for a station: Select Search in the menu bar, enter the station in the search field, then select the search result to start playing the station.
You'll find this information in this support article: Radio: Listen to stations on Apple TV - Apple Support
Also, you'll want to be sure your Apple TV is updated to the latest software version, which is tvOS 16.3.3. You can check by going to Settings > General > About. Learn more about updating your Apple TV here, if needed: Update your Apple TV - Apple Support
Thanks!
Thanks for the reply. If I go the Siri route and say 'play BBC radio 3' it plays BBC Radio 1 (not what I wanted). If I use search the BBC Radio 3 icon is displayed (good), but when I click on it, it just blinks but doesn't play. I'm back at my original problem. TVOS is 16.3.3.
It seems that this might be a BBC Radio 3 problem, since I can play other stations (BBC Radio 1 and Radio 4 are ok, for example). I'll see if BBC can help.
Greetings BobWilcox,
We do hope you’ll post an update after contacting BBC.
Thanks.
