BBC said it'll pull radio streams from TuneIn to slurp more of your data but nobody noticed till Amazon put its foot in it

I'm happy to be corrected, but I don't think a VPN will help you.

At present, at least, Alexa seems to be identifying you location - for TuneIn purposes - not by your IP address or even your device's configured location, but by the voice language being used.

Select English (United Kingdom) as your language, and TuneIn fails to play any BBC Live content.

Select any other English language, and TuneIn works.
