How to Listen to Chilli FM on Alexa

2 min read

Amazon Echo smart speaker in a living room

Listening to Chilli FM on your Amazon Echo or any Alexa speaker is quick and easy. Whether you’re in the kitchen, working from home or getting ready in the morning, you can start the music with a single voice command.

The Quick Way

Just say:

“Alexa, open Chilli FM.”

That’s it. Chilli FM starts playing straight away. The first time you say it, Alexa usually enables the Chilli FM skill for you automatically, so there’s no setup.

Why “Open” and Not “Play”?

When you say “Alexa, play Chilli FM”, Alexa sometimes looks for the station in its own music and radio services instead of our official skill, and you may end up with the wrong station or nothing at all. Saying “open” always takes you straight to the official Chilli FM skill.

Prefer to Set It Up First?

Say “Alexa, enable Chilli FM”, or use the Alexa app on your phone:

  1. Open the Alexa app.
  2. Go to More → Skills & Games.
  3. Search for Chilli FM.
  4. Tap Enable.

After that, just say “Alexa, open Chilli FM” whenever you want to listen.

Controlling the Music

  • “Alexa, pause”
  • “Alexa, resume”
  • “Alexa, stop”
  • “Alexa, volume five” (or “louder”, “quieter”)

You can also use the buttons on your Echo device.

Wake Up to Chilli FM

Make Chilli FM part of your morning with an Alexa Routine. In the Alexa app, go to More → Routines, tap +, choose a time as the trigger and add the action Skills → Chilli FM. Now your Echo starts the day with feel-good music.

Not Working?

  • Make sure you say “open”, not “play”.
  • Say the name clearly: “Chilli F M”.
  • Check your Echo is connected to Wi-Fi.
  • Still no luck? Try: “Alexa, play Chilli FM on myTuner Radio”.

Good to Know

  • The Chilli FM skill is completely free.
  • You only need to enable it once.
  • Availability may vary slightly by country.
