Alexa on Sonos won’t tune to Sirius XM stations on voice command

The only way I can get Sirius XM go play is to request Sirius XM without specifying a specific channel. Alexa will then pull up the last station. When I request a specific station the response is “I couldn’t find Sirius Channel 33” Any ideas on what to try ?

I find the SiriusXM controls to be spotty; some stations only respond to a station name, whereas others only respond to a channel number. For instance, I get the same answer you get if I say "Alexa, play Watercolors from SiriusXM on (room name)", but "Alexa, play channel 66 from SiriusXM on (room name)" works.

So you might try "Alexa, play First Wave from SiriusXM on (room name)".
