Google home is apparently in the 55+ demo.
I say "Okay Google, play NewsTalk 1010"
Google replies.. "Alright, here's CFRB".

Re: Google home is apparently in the 55+ demo.
Try saying "Play Global News Radio 640 Toronto" and see if it comes back as "Here's Mojo..."

"play ...." "Streaming Global News Radio Six Hundred and Forty Toronto"
"Play CILQ".. "Okay, here's Q one hundred and seven"
"Play 680 News" "Okay, here's six hundred and eighty news"
"Play Good radio" "Okay, playing some music on Google Play Music"
And proceeded to play Carpenters.. "Sweet Sweet Smile". (honest!)

I could also learn how to use this damn forum, like hitting reply instead of edit but that’s for next year.
Anyway...
Shitty AM reception where I am, tons of RF. I use a google home mini, I can play music on it, or listen to the radio and I don't have to get up from where i'm working to do it. I can also make phone calls, turn up and down the volume etc by just yelling at it

Re: Google home is apparently in the 55+ demo.
While we're on this topic, how does Google home compare to Alexa?
