thanks for both of them, brilliant.
weirdly although im of a radio 2 age, i prefer radio 1 in the morning. much more likely to get up and do things.
@timsutcliffe posted a link for radio 1 and yourself for radio 2. How do you do it??? Where did you find these actions??? So confused.
Errm, I’m not really sure. I can’t do it again myself reliably!
What are they trying to setup?
Are these still working for you from HomePod on iOS 16?
My HomePod mini says to me "the app hasn't added support for that with Siri"
Anybody else?
ps: Radio stations will only show as Shortcut actions if they were recently played in BBC Sounds app.

To follow up to my own question.
I remade the shortcuts and after some time (for things to synchronise?) the shortcuts have started to work.
I've named them replacing numbers with words.
Play BBC Radio One
Play BBC Six Music
etc

It’s a bit weird, but you need to carry out the action in the Sounds app and the open the Shortcuts app and the Sounds commands will be available to you. So, for example, open Radio 1 using Sounds then open Shortcuts and you should have an option to start streaming Radio 1.
I have created a Shortcut to open Radio 1, 2, 4 or 6 which I find works reliably for me and my wife. [link via iCloud]
