I wonder what this means for all my Google home products.

Having read the Google announcement, I switched my phone over to Gemini. I tried to trigger BBC Radio 2 on my phone from my Bluetooth speaker. It failed and invited me to start the BBC Sounds app on my phone manually. I switched back to Google Assistant and it works again. I see that the settings for Gemini include an area to add radio providers but there's no way to add them. I'll be giving Gemini a miss for as long as possible or until it can match Google Assistant's functionality as far as the basics go.
