HOMEPOD WONT PLAY KDFC RADIO

Homepod WON’T PLAY LOCAL RADIO anymore. It stopped on Saturday am. Why? I’ve been trying to chat with Apple HELP all day but no one has an answer. Obviously, apple help does not read this thread because there are others with a similar issue. but ZERO replies. Can anyone tell me: what happened this weekend? Was there an update? I’ll be tossing this in the trash and buying an old fashioned clock radio.


THE CLASSICAL MUSIC SELECTION ON APPLE MUSIC IS horrific. Provençal. Whoever put it together doesn’t listen to classical because the selection is an embarrassment to anyone who does. Please advise! The RADIO OPTION is completely GONE. It shows Apple Music stations ONLY.


Any comments help appreciated.

**I FIXED HOMEPOD MYSELF***


Step 1 - I downloaded the app for KDFC RADIO on my iPhone


Step 2 - Play APP/music on phone and hold the phone over the top of the HomePod. The music playing on the phone begins to play through the HomePod speaker


Step 3 - open Home APP on phone. Select HOMEPOD. Select “Alarm.” SELECT “Play Media.” Select “Choose Media.” Select “Apple Music.” Then, TYPE IN THE NAME

OF THE RADIO STATION YOU WANT.


THAT is what got my morning radio station BACK as my alarm this am at 5:00 hours.


I was ready to buy at $14 clock radio and toss this $100 headache into a recycle bin. There are too many features “half-***” working. Please programmers and developers, get the basics functioning before adding more “accessories.” You have to walk before you can run.


Plus, the only instructions AppleHelp gave was to reboot the Homepod. Every time you do that you set up the entire device. It needs to hear your voice. It will try and sell you artists whose music you have no desire to hear. Plus my issue wasn’t the Pod, but NOT seeing my selected radio station as an option on the Home App. Whew! 4 days to figure it out on my own.


Good luck to all the BBC APP listeners. I think this would work for this too.
