I love Alexa, but I wouldn't recommend it as a radio. Nothing can
replace the good old browsing option and abbility to set presets for
favourite radiostations.
Also, Alexa never guesses which station on TuneIn I want to listen to
as not all of them are English, it is frustrating, because I know it
could do it, but it doesn't understand me!

You might not want this recommendation, but I think Alexa is as good as
anything out there. You can choose the alarm sound, different alarm times,
and you can have her in a variety of flavours now such as Echo, Echo Dot,
GGMM speaker, multiroom speaker system like Sonos, and you get a better
radio quality than DAB can ever offer.
Kind regards,

Subject: [access-uk] Bedside Radio
Hello list,
My bedside radio has just about given up after quite a few years. It was a
Pure Sonus radio and I was pleased with its performance.
I am now looking for a replacement.
At one time there was a Pure Tempus-1 which additionally had an element of
TTS built in. Unhappily Pure have stopped marketing these radios.
Could I please have some recommendations for a replacement?
My criteria are:
Bedside size, I.E. not a Hi-Fi component.
DAB facility.
At least two alarms, I.E. one for weekdays and one for weekends.
Snooze capability.
TTS would be a sought after bonus.
Thank you.
Regards, John.
