Aleksandra, I have the same problem with music by Turkish artists. Radio
stations are easier however as you can search for them from the Amazon Alexa
App (if you use an device that has this) or presumably from the Alexa web site
as well. In the iPhone App you go to the menu, select music and books, Tune In
Radio and then near the top of the screen is a search box. You may be able to
save stations as favourites and assign them names that Alexa will in future
recognise, like Favourite1, instead of Kral FM.

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.
