Alexa not playing radio or amazon music

After updating to sonos 10.2, Alexa has stopped playing radio via Tunein and amazon music. The request is repeated back to confirm but then nothing plays. I have tried disabling the skill in Alexa app, but then I could not re-enable. I removed Alexa voice control from each sonos one and then added it back which also re-enabled the skill in Alexa, but no change.
Any suggestions?

    Hi folks,

    The previous outage should now be resolved. If you're still seeing issues, please send in a diagnostic report and reply here with the confirmation number.

    I suggest that you open a new thread as this post is 4 months old but first try Disabling the Sonos skill then Re-Enable the skill.

    You can't get BBC anymore on Sonos using an Alexa request - you have to do it through the Sonos app.

    The BBC has pulled TuneIn support for Alexa devices as of today.
