A very general statement indeed. I can go to my local retailer and purchase a standard radio for $20. As I've explained earlier listening to radio stations on a Smart Speaker is easy in theory sometimes but doesn't always work out in practise. Some radio stations on my Amazon devices for example it seems just can't be played no matter what my voicing instructions whilst others require a skill to play correctly. I guess the real point here is never to put all your eggs into one basket.

It is also a fraction of the cost of an intrnet or standard radio.
