A while ago, @Celticsfan created a post "Stopped playing my Radio Station". The issue was saying "Play Mix 104.1" to the Google Home speaker and getting WAAF instead. There was a lot of back and forth with @Celticsfan , @KiwiBird97 , @JMMR, @nanalinda, and @UserAC, but we hadn't figured out a solution.
Recently I tried something else that is working for me. I went into my Google Home app, and went under Automations to create a new one. I created the automation named "Play that funky music". The starter is "When I say to my Assistant "Play that funky music", it takes two actions: it sets the volume on the speaker to 60%, and I chose Play the radio with "WWBX FM" as the radio station. That has been working for me.
If any of the others who have had the problem would please try this and let me know if it works.

It worked!! Thanks for the fix, I went out and bought a Sonos speaker because I was so frustrated, but this worked great! Thanks @RayLodato 🙌🏼

Update: My change stopped working, for some reason, but I changed the Play the radio to "WWBX 104.1 FM" and it started working again. As a subsequent test, I started saying "Play Mix 104.1 FM from Audacy" (it hears "Audacy" as "Odyssey") and that works now!
