Pandora switching channels on its own

Why does Pandora switch to other stations while I am listening to Thumbs Up station?

@atweimer Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening?

To clarify, does the channel only switch when listening to your My Thumbs Up Playlist?

Are you listening to Pandora on a computer or on a device?

If you are on a computer, are you listening from:

A Mac or Windows computer?
Our website, or the desktop app? If you're listening from our website, what browser are you using?

If you are on a device, what is the make and model (and carrier, if applicable)?
Is there an error message? If so, what does it say?
Can you provide me with a screen-recording of what is happening?

Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝

Using an android tablet from verizon. Does not happen when listening to Pandora via roku stick on TV, cell phone, computer or another android tablet. Very frustrating.

Also Pandora via roku stick on TV only lets me listen to first 100 on Thumbs Up station. I have over 400 songs on the station. Again this only occurs on roku stick on TV Pandora Channel.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I'm playing Pandora on my home tv. Keeps changing songs after playing 2 minutes.
