Due to regional broadcast licensing restrictions for some stations that are available on Sonos through TuneIn, these stations are no longer part of the TuneIn channel portfolio. We wish them the best of luck.

Over 100,000 channels from every corner of the earth, plus live and on-demand radio shows from around the world - all streaming direct to Sonos players throughout your house.

Troubleshooting

Audio interruptions 
Radio streams are hosted independently around the world, and some streams may be more reliable than others. If you experience audio interruptions with a specific station try the following steps:

1. Confirm that your Internet is working properly. Make sure you can load web pages and attempt playing the station directly on TuneIn’s website.
2. Try playing another station. If other stations work fine, the station you are trying to play may be experiencing a temporary issue. If you continue to have trouble with a particular station, please send us an email and we’d be happy to track it down.

Station not listed 
Sonos supports MP3, AAC and WMA streaming audio formats for radio stations. If the station not listed in Sonos is in one of these formats, and you know the station’s streaming URL, you can manually add it to Sonos. 

Using your Sonos Desktop Controller for Mac or PC, select Manage and then choose “Add Radio Station”. From here you can add the streaming URL of a station and give it a name/label. This station will then show up under Radio by TuneIn > My Radio Stations. It is not possible to manually add radio stations using a mobile Sonos controller.

Station logo missing 
Some stations might not have provided TuneIn with a station logo; in those cases, TuneIn is unable to display a logo.
