Why am I having issues listening to live radio on my Google speaker?

Smart speaker | Under investigation

*** Wednesday 13 May ***

We are aware of an issue where live BBC Radio streams aren't playing as expected on some Google speakers. The stream may cut out, or the audio may repeat or 'loop'. 

Google are investigating this issue. We will update this page when we know more. 

In the meantime, live streams can be cast from the BBC Sounds app or website to the affected speakers and should play without issue. For more help and information on this, have a look here: How do I use Chromecast with BBC Sounds?
