Alexa Skill:

With millions of Alexa enabled Amazon Echo devices already sold (over 100 million in 2019), getting in on the action early and making your Radio Station available to all of these users would certainly get you more listeners for your station. NOW is a great time to get your own Radio Skill and get ahead of the crowd.

Many Radio Stations are already taking advantage of broadcasting to these homes by getting Alexa to play their stations with a simple ‘Alexa, play My Radio Station’.

In fact, without even advertising our test skills, we’ve seen hundreds of people tuning into our demo radio skills… This shows that people are actively looking for new Alexa Skills and new radio stations to stream throughout their homes and Amazon Alexa enabled devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does It Work?

Create a unique invocation that will bring up your radio stations on Amazon Echo Speakers (e.g. Alexa, play Tide Radio). Just provide us with some simple details when we contact you to have your Alexa Skill created and published!

Do I Need To Be Existing Customer?

No, you can order our Alexa Radio Skill even if you do not have any stream hosting services with us, of course if we could tempt you to take stream hosting services with us…that would be even better, and depending on your desired streaming plan, you could get your Alexa Skill free too 🙂

How Do I Create A Good Invocation?

Your invocation name must consist of at least two words and include only lowercase letters, spaces, and possessive apostrophes (e.g., "jack’s internet radio"). Abbreviations should be formatted with periods (e.g., "f. m." for FM), and numbers must be written out in full (e.g., "radio sixty-two"). Additionally, invocation names cannot include Alexa launch phrases such as "launch," "ask," "tell," "open," "load," "begin," or "enable." Wake words like "Alexa," "Amazon," "Echo," "Computer," as well as the terms "skill" or "app," are also prohibited. Learn more.
