Alexa is protecting you from that liberal garbage.

Time to subscribe to Alexa+!


I’m the pp and I am already subscribed. I’m still having trouble playing what I want.


Did the problem start before or after upgrade?
Maybe download the app and control it that way? I do that a lot.


I upgraded to Alexa plus shortly after it was released so a few months ago. It happened this morning, which is serendipitous that I saw this thread. I was able to play the radio station just fine yesterday but today it kept redirecting me to a different station. I was able to bypass it by going through the Alexa app.

OP: Huh, still nothing is working. Have had this occasionally in the past but this has been 2 weeks+ now. When I saw NPR or National Public Radio it plays NPR from Erie PA. Better than nothing but cannot get WAMU. I get SHINE radio or a country music station. I have an Alexa upstairs and it is not working on that either.

Apparently it’s switching everyone to Alexa + and there are some technical glitches.


It’s funny because he’s in early dementia and says to me “npr is playing really,really raunchy music” or “I guess trump is right, npr has gone bad”…
Then I realize he did it wrong and got the “what the f&ck” song again.
