Hi. It sounds like you have a question about how to set up a routine that includes playing BBC Radio 4. Generally speaking, you would want to add a "Skill" as an action when you edit or set up a routine. However, I've checked the Alexa Skills Store and I don't see that BBC has published a "BBC Radio 4" skill.

That having been said, it looks like you've found the Alexa Skills Kit developer support channel whereas this question would be best directed to our customer support team. They're available via e-mail, phone or live chat and their contact details can be found here:

At present this is not possible to call a BBC radio station. BBC is working on it, but they withdrew their radio stations a while back from the tune in service which is why you now need to have the BBC skill and say something like "Alexa ask the BBC to play radio 4"
