HomePod will not play KQED

I updated all of my devices including HomePod to iOS 15.0.

I’ve listened to KQED (Bay Area NPR station) for years on the HomePod with the request:

“Hey Siri, play KQED”.

This has always worked.

Until today.

Now I get a Pandora(?) station called “Little Keyed Radio”

WTF?

”Hey Siri PLAY KQED SAN FRANCISCO” gets me San Francisco symphony opera.

It’s completely broken and utterly ridiculous that a station I’ve always played, that still appears as a favorite in Apple Music is now utterly beyond the HomePod’s grasp.

HomePod, 15

Previously I'd have suggested "Hey Siri, play KQED provided by TuneIn", because Siri often uses "Playing X provided by TuneIn" when there is a successful response. When I try that now I get "I didn't find KQED provided on Apple Music", which isn't what we're after. Try variations on the theme. "Hey Siri, play KQED with TuneIn radio" worked just now. I get the response "Here's KQED FM provided by TuneIn", followed by the stream.
