An Alexa Radio Skill lets listeners play your radio station on Alexa-enabled devices using simple voice commands. Once enabled, your station launches instantly with no apps or searching required. We build, publish, and maintain the skill, ensuring reliable playback and peace of mind, knowing that your skill is managed by professionals.
Create a unique invocation that will bring up your radio stations on Amazon Echo Speakers (e.g. Alexa, play Max Dance Radio). Just provide us with some simple details when we contact you to have your Alexa Skill created and published!
Your Radio Skill will be published for you on the Amazon Store and available for Alexa supported devices.
Your invocation name should be two or more words, and can contain only lower-case alphabetic characters, spaces between words, possessive apostrophes (for example, ”jack’s internet radio”). Abbreviations should be marked as periods, for example, FM is marked as ”f. m.”. All numbers must be spelled out, for example: ”radio sixty two”. Invocation names cannot contain any of the Alexa launch phrases such as ”launch”, ”ask”, ”tell”, ”open”, ”load”, ”begin”, and ”enable”. Wake words including ”Alexa”, ”Amazon”, ”Echo”, ”Computer”, or the words ”skill” or ”app” are not allowed.
No, you can order our Alexa Radio Skill even if you do not have any stream hosting services with us, of course if we could tempt you to take stream hosting services with us…that would be even better, and depending on your desired streaming plan, you could get your Alexa Skill free too!! 🙂
Yes, if you are on our qualifying Radio Stream Hosting plans that include Free Alexa Radio Skill then you can indeed request Alexa Skill at no additional cost, you can do this via your My NuWeb area by navigating to Add-Ons to order your free Alexa Skill add-on, or simply submit a support ticket and our team will add this for you. However, if you then downgrade your streaming plan to a streaming plan not including the Free Alexa Skill, you will inevitably lose the free skill, you will have the option to purchase the Alexa Skill as a separate monthly service to keep your skill – with the paid Alexa Radio Skill service even if you change stream providers, as long as you continue to pay for your monthly Alexa Skill service the Skill stays available, simply provide us the new stream details so we can update your Alexa Skill.
Tying customers to long-term contracts doesn’t fit in with our values at NuCast. Instead, we believe that it’s the quality of our service and support that helps us retain customers throughout their journey. As such, you’ll find that there are no minimum term contracts and that you can cancel your audio streaming plan at any time.
Our technical support is world-class and is included, free of charge, in all our services. You have access to technical experts, 24 hours a day, every day and can get in touch easily via online chat (U.K business hours) or email & ticket 24/7. There are, however, some things that we cannot help you with and these are detailed in our terms.
We accept payment via PayPal, Credit Card or Debit Card payments using Stripe for payment processing or via Direct Bank Transfer. All payments must be made in GBP (£).
