Important: Some features aren't available in all languages, countries, or eligible Android devices.

You can ask Google Assistant on your speaker, Smart Display, Smart Clock, or car to play radio stations by name or location.

1. Say "Hey Google" or press the button to talk to Assistant.
2. Say a command.

• Station name: “Play ESPN Radio.” “Play Mega 97.9 FM.” “Play Mega 97.9 on iHeartRadio.”
• Frequency: “Play 98.5.”
• Call sign: “Play KQED.” “Play KFOG.”
• Location: “Play Z100 in New York.”
• Nearby NPR station: “Play NPR.”
• Find info: “What’s playing?”

• To pause or stop:
  • “Pause.”
  • “Stop.”
  • “Stop the radio.”
• To resume:
  • “ Resume.”
  • “Continue playing.”

You can set the volume to a specific level (1–10) or percent (1–100%).

• Increase: “Turn it up.” (Increases volume by 10%).
• Decrease: “Turn it down.” (Decreases volume by 10%).
• Set a level: “Volume 5.”
• Set a percentage: “Volume to 65%.”

With Assistant built-in, you can listen to the car radio or a radio app, like iHeartRadio.

• “Hey Google, play 102.7,” Assistant will play that station on the car radio.
• “Hey Google, play 102.7 on iHeartRadio,” Assistant will play that station from your streaming app.

Tip: Ask Assistant to play a radio frequency, not a station name or call sign.
