Where do you get a good radio alarm clock for multiple stations?

Looking for an alarm clock that wakes me up with the radio. Thing is I listen to one radio station mon-fri and then a different one at the weekend (both bbc if it helps). Is this possible?? (Preferably not from Amazon)

I've got a Pure Evoke Spot - it lets you set 2 independent alarms that can be different. I generally use it to come on later at the weekend, but it could do other stations.
It does DAB, FM, internet radio and Bluetooth.

Trying to get away from having the phone in the room - should have specified in post !

May I ask why?
For example, if it's a "listening" worry, you can mute the mic.

Ah ok, why not Amazon?

Probably as to not have a listening device in their bedroom.

It's not the cheapest solution but we have a Sonos system. We have one of the cheaper Ikea bookshelf in the bedroom and through the app you can make different alarms with different stations.
Couldn't be without it.

There is a lumie model which has a radio, I never use it because I use the Bluetooth but that's a phenomenal clock, sunrise and sunset are great and you get radio!

I think these guys may be a good match. We bought one of their radios a few years ago for our bedroom and it;'s been brilliant. Alarm, radio, bluetooth if you want.
Really really good.

I've got a Lenovo internet alarm clock that works with Google Home. You can set all sorts of alarms with different radio stations (you can even get it to turn on a light when it goes off.) You can also have it set up to show a photo album on the display.

This could be a real interesting project for the small raspberry pi, a little python script could easily do this

I have a Sony Dab alarm clock. You can set 2 alarms so one weekday, 1 weekend. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-XDR-C1DBP-DAB-Clock-Radio/dp/B0154X1OD4/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.x2wA9t1zZ4kO8vadatBjfgGC7v5fXeZV798GbmEtV_uG6SAhN2oDOk3p8-iaPU9XfdAgTDslE7PqJ-gcrfPi2hKf7D3PuUwdts8yQU8Qw7rcvKi3qt9x_0dJMKiHMrx-YqkT5d923APITJmVipeWTjLjXGUlNM9Op0sbslJ4DB-OmP-Vl-4QCrVHlIIbleF-KWlw3OShIMvtZs1nDVCewpO-ljeByCC91wPAZlCXq6A.KC2so02F6tWo-Y3Q6FejjAXkIEbVosJtCu4AIWSlk6s&dib_tag=se&keywords=Sony+Clock+Radio&qid=1775927848&sr=8-1

I have a shortcut automation on my iPhone that plays a radio station when my wake up alarm is stopped. You could do that, and have a different channel played on different days. Bonus: I airplay it to a speaker in the bedroom

Try Azatom. I have one of their radios and it's very good.

I have a Roberts DAB alarm clock with dual alarm and the ability to wake up to the radio, the clock is also a nice soothing orange colour, cost me £40 a few years ago but I bet you'd still get one.

I don't really know if radio alarm clocks still exist, since most people stream and use their phone for music / radio.
I know an Alexa would be able to do a routine to start playing the radio at certain times, the sound quality is really good, and you get the benefit of having a smart speaker.
