Hi. What happens if you use this station on your desktop client? After liking a couple of tracks there, try it on your android again and see if it works now.

 

EDIT: It seems there may be something wrong at spotify's end affecting radioand has been escalated.

Well it just randomly started working...maybe it was just a fix itself issue...strange that it wouldn't even after a full reboot reinstall, but I'm not complaining...

Sorry...different account

On android and I get this error for every radio station. I have cleared cache reinstalled and tinkered with stuff no luck. Issue started 24 hours ago. Playlists work without any issue.

Seeing multiple reports of radio issues today, it has been reported to the Spotify community team.
