Can't edit/add variety to genre stations

I am using a pre-existing station but there are several artists missing that I would like to add.  I do not see a way to add to a pre-existing station without making a new station and starting from scratch.

@Richardbailey56 Thanks for following up and clarifying that with me.

Genre stations, such as "Today's Hits" or "Golden Oldies" are stations created and curated by Pandora. Sometimes, they might include more mainstream artists and songs or we may make changes to the station that can result in changes to the experience you've been accustomed to. You can always use Thumbs to help guide the station you are trying to create.

As an alternative, we recommend creating your own station, using an artist or song that you think best represents a particular genre.

Additionally, you may Add Variety to the station you create, in order to include other artists or songs you'd like to influence your station.

Keep in mind, each seed you add will inspire hundreds of other songs, so a little variety goes a long way. If you don't like the direction your station is headed, you can always edit your station seeds and Thumbs through the Station Details.

Hope this is helpful. Thanks for listening!

My station, Dion & Belmonts Radio seems to play the same songs, no matter how many I add.
