How to link your Virgin Radio and Alexa accounts and enter the competition

We recommend our listeners connect their Alexa accounts to our 'News Broadcasting' skill. It’s quick and easy to sign in and you only need to do it once. You may have already linked your Alexa account to Spotify, Global Player or the BBC - don't worry, linking to our skill won't affect your other Alexa skills or your Alexa account. And you'll be in the draw for tickets to see Texas at our Sunset Session on 15th September, here at the News Building in London.

Linking your account is easy! First, open the Alexa app on your device. From the Home screen, select ‘Skills and Games’.  Search for the News Broadcasting Skill and enable it. You can create an account at this stage if you don’t have one, it’s free and always will be to listen to our stations.Go to ‘Settings’ - you’ll find this option next to the ‘Launch’ icon on the skill homepage when you’ve enabled it.First, select ‘Account Permissions’ to enable push notifications(you can turn these off after you’ve finished linking your account).Select ‘Link Account’Alexa will ask you to confirm this - and that’s it!

Below is a link to the answers to some common questions, but if the answer's not there, or you have any issues please let us know by email to apps@virginradio.co.uk
