Can HomePod stream radio stations w Siri control

I'm interested in replace my SONOS with HomePod. Does HomePod offer Siri-Controlled streaming of actual radio stations - like my local KMHD or OPB?

Hi, the HomePod will be able to launch the Apple Music radio station : Beats 1. For the others radio stations you'll need to use a third party app with AirPlay. I developed "Radio AIR", an app with over 30,000 radio stations including KMHD & OPB : Radio AIR on the App Store . Hope you'll like it. Maxime

It seems that if the NPR station is in iTunes Radio then the HomePod can also stream it. Use a search in iTunes of all Apple Music to see available Radio Streams. I could find OPD Oregon so you can stream it in HomePod. I couldn't find KMHD.


I discovered this because I asked HomePod to play RIPR Rhode Island, our local Rhode Island NPR station.
