Listen To 96.9 Hits FM with Alexa!

• Amazon’s voice service is called Alexa. Much like your phone has an “app”, your Amazon devices (Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Tap, Echo Show, etc) have skills. Users interact with their Alexa enabled device via skills.
• Skills can be “default” – meaning they come pre-enabled on your Alexa device, or they can be “custom”. Custom skills are searchable in the Alexa Skills Store and offer tons of fun features from games to news to smart home devices…even listening to 96.9 Hits FM!.

Are custom Alexa skills free for Alexa users?

• Yes, custom Alexa skills are free for users to enable and interact with on their Alexa-enabled devices.

How do I enable 96.9 Hit FM’s Alexa skill (you will only have to do this once!)?

  • Open the Alexa app on your mobile device, search for the 96.9 Hits FM skill & click enable
  • Say “Alexa, enable 96.9 Hits FM SKILL”

Once my skill is enabled, how do I use it?
