Hi @Sparta1935, welcome to the Sonos Community!

Other than using the app to switch between TV audio and a music service, you could use a voice assistant.

Pandora is supported by Sonos Voice Control (SVC) which is what I’d recommend, but you can also use Alexa and Google Assistant. To set up SVC, you’ll want to follow the steps listed on our support article Set up Sonos Voice Control, which are:

  1. Open the Sonos app for iOS or Android.
  2. Go to the Settings menu and select Manage next to My System.
  3. Select Voice Assistants, then Add a Voice Assistant.
  4. Select Sonos Voice Control.
  5. Follow the in-app instructions to add Sonos Voice Control to your Sonos system.

After adding SVC, you can swap to TV audio by saying “Hey Sonos, Switch to TV mode" and switch to Pandora by saying “Hey Sonos, Play [station] on Pandora”. You can view a full list of voice commands under the support article List of voice requests for Sonos Voice Control.

I hope this information helps!
