I can’t find anything about this. I had a link in my phone that I think was put there by the manufacturer of this alarm app, but it doesn’t play.  
I want my Android alarm app to turn on and wake me up with a live stream of the World Service, but all the pages I can find require another click. I tried some .pls playlist links, but none of them worked. I don’t know what else to search or even where on Reddit to ask this.

Have you tried any other apps ?  
This one looks likely :-
