Sonos 11.1 Brings Sonos Radio

We’re proud to announce the launch of Sonos Radio, the premier radio experience on Sonos.  This is a free, ad-supported streaming radio service available to Sonos customers, offering access to an extensive assortment of music, news, live sports and more. 

 

Sonos Radio connects you with radio stations from around the world, with over 60,000 broadcast radio stations brought together in an easy to use interface. You can also use Sonos Radio to access radio services from our partners, such as iHeartRadio in North America, with more on the way. 

 

Sonos Radio features exclusive Sonos Stations, 30 genre-based stations based off of the music our owners listen to most. Get quick access to music with stations designed to complement the things you do at home, like getting ready in the morning, relaxing, working from home, cooking, and more.

 

Broadcasting from our Sonos Store in New York City, Sonos Sound System is the destination for music discovery and sonic inspiration. You can find Sound System along with our exclusive artist-curated stations under Sonos Presents in the app.

      impressed by the ‘local’ radio station offer for my region - still need to find out how stable the streaming service is and how good the sound quality - it is anyhow a good alternative for TuneIn

      Hello, I’m not able to find the curated stations, Sonos Sound System, or artist stations. All I see on the Sonos Radio service are usual internet radios and local stations and I am in the UK, thanks

      No, it’s the same thing as listening to a radio station on your car radio.

      Make sure both the controller, and the firmware upon your speakers is updated to 11.1. It wont show up otherwise.

      Is there a way to have the stations play the edited versions of songs?

      I only found out about this today, so I’m now 106 comments behind. Therefore, I’m not reading any of them to see if this has been answered.

       

      How do the voice assistants work with this new radio service? I listen to pretty much one radio station and have been frustrated over the years how starting this has been handled by Amazon Alexa. I would hope that something that was provided by the speaker maker would be much better and I can stop having to use long strings of commands to get it going.

      Sonos 11.1 brings ….. a whole load of problems with my system.  Beam keeps losing connection …. CR200 has developed a mind of its own.

      Spent hours trying to get my system back up and running.

      As usual, all other non-Sonos devices work as normal …. and all this for an ad-supported radio service.

      All very disappointing.

      It's the courageous bee's knees - all 6 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝. - - - - - Make Sonos Great Again - - - - -

      They both are 11.1, but still nothing

      On demand would be an excellent addition - ie BBC Sounds.  Tune-in is not good at this eg BBC Sounds has around 20 previous episeodes of Gideon Coe’s programme on BBC 6 Music whereas Tune-in only has the 4 most recent.  Also, on Tune-in unlike BBC Sounds, if you listen to half of a programme, listen to something else, and then return Tune-in plays the programme from the beginning, it doen’t remember when you left the programme.
