Ask Alexa “What’s on TV” to find out the day's TV highlights

If you own an Amazon Echo, there’s a fun new way to quickly find out the day’s TV highlights with the new What’s On TV skill.

Amazon Echo is the smart hands-free speaker that can recognise your voice and respond by playing music, controlling your smart home devices, offering you information and much more.

Setting up the What’s On TV skill couldn’t be more simple…

  • Type the shortcut http://amzn.to/2saiW6H into a Web browser
  • Sign in to your Echo account, if you’re not already signed in
  • Click “Enable Skill” on the What’s On TV Skill page

Now whenever you ask “Alexa, what’s my Flash Briefing” or “Alexa, what’s the news”, your Amazon Echo will read you the day’s TV highlights!

Never miss the best shows on the box.
