Kevin - Both Pure and Sangean had purpose built wifi clock radios on the market until recently, but I see both are listed as discontinued after checking today. Inasmuch as all wifi radios appear to have clocks and alarm and sleep features anyway, any one of them could be a bedside unit provided they’re priced and perform in the way you prefer.
