  • Amazon ECHO - BBC 6Music - PINGS

    There are 'pings' in the background every few seconds when listening to
    6Music on an Amazon ECHO - OK on DAB and direct on BBC Sounds?

    I can only hear stupid bird sound effects in the background via Google
    Nest, but I presume Mark Radcliffe is to blame for those?

    That could be what I am hearing but can't hear on DAB or direct off BBC
    Sounds online.

    Put the ECHO on again and the pings have stopped, I don't think I was
    hearing birdsong.

    He put the birdsong on again and it was quite different to the pings I
    was hearing.

    Can't decide whether this was a serious question.
    8 to 10 am As birds take flight to escape the cold winter ahead, Mark Radcliffe presents a soaring selection of laid-back tracks themed around
    our feathered friends.
    All I heard in the background was endless, pointless bird sounds.
