  2. Then click the appropriate search result (it may help to filter your results by Station).
  3. From a source's backstage page click Start Station to add the station to your collection.

You can also use Browse to view station and playlist suggestions picked just for you.

You can find Browse next to My Collection on the home screen of our website.

Howard Stern Podcast:

We were very happy to offer the Howard Stern: 19 from 2019 podcast series for a limited time.

Because this was a limited time offer, the content will no longer available when searching our library. However, listeners who have already added this content to their collection will continue to have the ability to listen to those episodes.

If you’ve enjoyed listening to Howard Stern’s interviews with top celebrities on Pandora, then you’ll love the exclusive programming offered only through SiriusXM. Please visit SiriusXM to learn more.

We really appreciate your support and thanks for listening!

I have read the instructions on Pandora on creating a new station/artist. Anyone have instructions that make sense?

Hi @Portrey thanks for posting. I've moved your message to an existing thread, How to create a station, to keep things organized.

Maybe I can help out. Let me know the type of device you're using and where you're having trouble with creating a station. 

Thanks!

1. Is there a way to create a station on the Android app?  The help pages for Android don't have a section for creating a station.

2.  I tried using the Pandora website on my Android, but the only thing it does is open the Pandora app.

@Jsaiya To start listening on your Android device and create a station, check out this help page article for instructions.

To listen on your Android device, you'll need to use the app - you won't be able to stream Pandora through your mobile browser.

Hope this helps!

Why can't I add a station without subscribing to Premium? I have been a Plus user for 2 decades.

I have added many stations to my collection, including very recently. Today I tried to add BrunuhVille and I am informed that I must upgrade to Premium.  ???

@alohamickie I moved your post over to this existing thread: How to create a station

You should still be able to add stations to your collection.

If you are on a computer, you will need to click on the Start Station icon:

Hi @gardenias4me2! Welcome to community.

I moved your post over to an existing thread in our support boards - How to create a station

The best way to explore Pandora and create a station (or to listen to any type of content) is to search our library and further filter your results.

You can view @AlyssaPandora accepted solution above for specific steps on how to create a station from mobile or web.

How come I have to watch an add before I can play a new station, I am using the plus subscription. It used to allow for you to search and play new stations. Even if I watch the adds it still doesn’t save the station to my stations. I don’t like this newer version.
