Before upgrading my HomePods to iOS16 things were working as expected, but now, if I want to listen to a live broadcast station, Siri is no longer able to play it.

Please try one of these and let me know if these work on HomePods - Play 'WTMX radio station" or Play "B96 radio station". Strangely Siri still responds fine when calling these out from a phone, but HomePods in my house are no longer playing any of the broadcast stations anymore.

Found the fix. I had to reset all the HomePods to default settings and add them to my Home again. What a **** show.

Might have to try that. When asking Siri on HomePod to "play SomaFM Drone Zone radio" it would answer with like "now playing Drone Zone on tune in", but recently it changed to "playing stuff similar to Drone Zone on Apple Music". I was thinking that Apple stopped supporting internet radio stations.
