Classic FM no longer working in Apple Music

Classic FM no longer working in Apple Music. It does not matter if I ask Siri to play Classic FM via my Homepod or I use my I pad or I phone by clicking on Classic FM in Apple Music they all fail to play the station. It appears to be an issue with Classic FM as I can play other stations successfully via Apple Music with no issues. All software up to date and no issues with my router. Anyone else having the same problem?

I can see other users are finding that Classic FM is no longer working via Apple Music. The issue appears to be with Apple Music unfortunately I cannot use Global Player to play Classic FM through my HomePod which I wish to do.

Yes, you are correct and it is a known issue that recently appeared with Apple Music. Unfortunately the user you responded to does nothing more than copy/paste AI results and you will not see them follow up with any sort of help.


I would recommend to send feedback to Apple here. That is the best way to get Apple's attention on the matter as your feedback will be logged and prioritized. It was a recent change that caused the problem, so hopefully a fix is already in the works.

Yes, Classic FM will not play on my iPod. It did play OK about a year ago when I bought the iPod. Over the last few months it has deteriorated and now will not play at all. Global player did change its app, and this seems to be when the problem started. How to I correct as this is the only thing I use the iPod for. Should I go out and get a new radio?
