Sorry. This radio station can't be started.

All of a sudden I am no longer to play any of the genre radio stations in Spotify on my Android phone.  They work on the Windows client and I am even able to transfer from playing on my computer to my phone over bluetooth but I cannot start any of them directly from the phone.  How do I fix this as I use spotify almost 100% of the time from my phone and have just upgraded to premium but it has been days now and the issue still persists.

Hey there @jbrannon, welcome to the community!

I'll definitely take a look into this for you! 🙂

Have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling the Spotify Android client?

I am having the exact same problem. Radio stations work on mac and iOS but not on Samsung Tab. Argh.

I've seen a few reports pf this happening. Can you please contact Spotify Support using the form here.

You will get an automated reply at first, however if you need to chase them just reply to the email as it does get monitored.

I have the same problem since 2 days ago when I upgraded to Premium.  On the same devices if I log into a free account,  it all works.  It works on my PC.  It doesn't work on our Nexus 5, Nexus 7s, Moto G, or Samsung Tab 3. Since it apparently is not happening to everyone it has to be something specific to my account. 

This problem has been being reported since last  August.  Time to give us a solution.
