Will the Sonos One current generation play BBC radio through Alexa voice command simply and reliably?

I’m interested in buying a Sonos One, but this is critical to my enjoyment of it.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes, try adding the "BBC Sounds" Skill to the Alexa App and then use commands like ‘Alexa, play BBC Radio1’ (as an example) - that is working just fine on Sonos devices (for me at least)... (Not sure if licensing may restrict BBC access to certain Regions/Countries however). I’m based in the U.K.

Thanks Ken that’s reassuring - I’m based in the UK too. I’ll buy one on the strength of that - I appreciate that Sonos offer an excellent returns policy in case it doesn’t work out for me.
