Listen to radio on your Google Nest speaker or display

With Google Nest and Home speakers and displays, you can use your voice to listen to terrestrial and internet or satellite radio stations through speakers or displays, or a TV or speaker that works with Google Cast.

Use your voice to listen to radio

To do this:

Say "Hey Google," then:

Listen to the closest radio station by name, call-sign, or frequency

Tip: Premium online radio streaming requires a subscription (available in the US and Canada only).

"Play [radio station name]"
"Play [radio station call-sign]"
"Play [radio station frequency]"
"Play [radio station] on [radio service]"

Listen to a radio station in another location

"Play [radio station name] in [location]"
"Play [radio station frequency] [location]"

Listen to the last radio station or channel you played

"Turn on the radio"
"Play the radio"

Listen to the last radio station or channel you played on a specific service

"Play [radio service]"

Play radio on TV or speaker that works with Google Cast.

"Play [radio station] on my [device name]"

Play a nearby NPR station

"Play NPR"

Other ways to control radio

When radio is playing, you can control it from your speaker, display, or the Google Home app.

Troubleshooting

If your speaker or display doesn't play the radio station you requested, try these steps:

  • Ask for the station in a different way. For example, if the name didn't work, try the call sign or frequency.
  • Add more specific information, such as "on [radio service]," to your request.
  • When you use the frequency, add the name of a nearby city.
