If you have an Alexa, you're likely to be using that as your 'radio', so
it's not going to cause a problem (she doesn't trigger herself) If you
don't have an Alexa, there's no problem, is there ?

Not necessarily, I sometimes use ALEXA but it can be unreliable so often
easier to just listen on DAB.

Would another commercial station carry an advert for HEART though?

It's hardly going to be a major widespread problem.

Yes, of course, both Global and Bauer plug their own stations. I've
heard Smooth and Heart promoted on LBC for instance.

Yes indeed, but they also have a smart phone app that can be used. I have to
say thatwiring up thee lady to an aux port on a decent hi if is very good.
Its far easer than fiddling about with tuning stuff in and there are skills
like my tuner radio and radio player that can play stations from around the
world. Tune in cannot do that due to a court ruling of course, but skills
based elsewhere don't cre and that should be the case, but some cranky old
judge did a ruling and started the slow rot of restricting links by the
recording giants who want to protect their regional market share.
