Hello all.

I'm trying to make an Alexa routine that will switch away from Greatest Hits Radio to Radio 2 and return to GHR after an interval. (It's to listen to a different station instead of adverts).

The routine is simple but doesn't work. If we assume I am already listening to GHR my "Switch Away" routine does this:

1 - Play Radio 2 (via the "Music and Podcasts" routine option)
2 - Wait 20 seconds (via the "Wait" routine option)
3 - Play Greatest Hits Radio (via the "Music and Podcasts" routine option)

All that happens is that Radio 2 plays (though the wait might happen, I wouldn't know).

I'm sure a guru will know why :-)

Help appreciated, I really want to listen to Ken Bruce when he moves to GHR

p.s - I can mute for a period of time, that works fine, but my guess is that timed changes of radio stations don't work.
