Your listeners can add your Alexa Skill directly to their Amazon smart speaker. They can then launch the radio or ask for the current broadcast title with a simple voice command.
Great experience with RadioKing! I hired them to assist with publishing a mobile app for my internet radio station, Twisted Grape Radio, and also setting up an Amazon Alexa skill for it as well. The Alexa skill went through super fast, and RadioKing's support staff have been excellent and totally responsive thus far. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
It is legitimate to question the value of having your own Radio Skill when you know that TuneIn most likely already lists your station on Alexa. However, you cannot be certain that it will actually be your station that plays when a listener asks Alexa to play it. It is possible that a different station with the same or a similar name will be streamed instead. That is why it is a good idea to claim your place by creating your own Skill for your radio.

Unfortunately, you cannot modify Alexa Skills yourself after they have been published. The modification of your voice applications is possible, but it requires a complete republishing by one of our developers. Republishing is priced at $18/ £12 /€10.
