How do I play custom radio stations on apple watch?

Sooooo... how do you play custom radio stations on the apple watch? I bought a new watch recently and cannot figure out how to do it. My watch radio stations just show NPR (yawn) CBS (double yawn) and a holiday station. On my iPhone I have all sorts of custom stations I've made. How do I get these to show on my watch? I'm assuming this is impossible as this guy had the same question and the entire internet never answered him....

OK, for anyone else with this question in the future - I just confirmed with a Senior Advisor at apple that this is not available yet on the apple watch (as of WatchOS 5.1.2) hopefully in the future they add it. Really annoying that they left this out.

The link includes:

"Open the Music app on your Apple Watch and scroll up, then tap Library. You can also use Siri to play any song in the Apple Music catalog and listen to custom stations in the Radio app."

Yea, that's incorrect. It's a mistake that they will be fixing. That does not work. Per the senior engineer I spoke with he said:

"Yes, we were discussing that specific line of instructions here internally, as it is vague and would lead one to believe that it works on all devices. When in actuality, it only works on the devices listed in the instruction set above it. We have forwarded this our engineering team regarding clarification of that specific step."

So sorry - as I mentioned above, you cannot do this.

No it's not. You either didn't read my question, or didn't read the article you posted. That article says nothing about my issue. Getting the radio stations I create on my iphone over to my watch.

Thank you so much for your patience <my name redacted>.

I was able to confirm that the custom Radio feature of Apple music is not currently available on the watch.
