RadioApp now plays on Google Nest speakers
It’s now possible to listen to more than 350 Australian AM, FM and DAB+ digital radio stations, including commercial radio, ABC and SBS, via voice command on Google Nest speakers and displays.
A new agreement between Commercial Radio Australia (CRA) and Google Australia means devices such as Google Home and Google Nest Hub Max can now play stations via RadioApp, the Australian radio industry’s official aggregator radio app.
This means you (hopefully) won’t hear the message “I looked for (station name) but it either isn’t available or can’t be played right now” when you ask for your favourite Aussie station.
“We have been working hard in partnership with Google locally and globally for the past 18 months to ensure that all commercial radio stations and DAB+ digital stations are easily available on Google Nest speakers and displays,” CRA CEO Joan Warner says.
“There is great value for radio audiences in being able to enjoy their favourite local radio station on these devices using a simple voice request.”
