Alarm playing wrong radio station

My Sonos alarm has started playing random radio stations instead of the one it is set to!

 

I have the alarm set to be BBC Radio 6 Music. but some mornings it plays Radio 2, othertimes Radio 4 and last week Heart FM.

 

On each occasion the app on my phone says it’s BBC Radio 6 Music, but that’s not what’s playing. If I stop the radio and then just press play again a bit later, it plays whatever radio station it was playing earlier, whilst saying it’s Radio 6.

 

It’s very strange and annoying! Any suggestions?

Hi

It’s totally random.  I have a Sonos One in my office, a Play 1 in my bedroom and kitchen and a beam and 2xOne’s in the TV room.  

 

At times one room will be on the app and the others have disappeared

 

Sometimes volume control doesn’t work or radio station/song won’t change when selected…..

 

This morning the alarm worked as programmed i.e. the correct radio station came on

 

Other mornings it’s the Sonos Chime or a different radio station

 

Oh and sometimes the app displays the correct station but it’s playing another….
