OK Google, play CBC Radio One

It’s tricky to get my Google Home to play CBC Radio One: depending on the way I ask, it’s as likely, for reasons unknown, to play the private radio station CFCY instead.

Here’s a transcript of my attempts:

Me: OK Google, play CBC Radio One.

Google Home: Streaming 95.1 FM CFCY from Tunein.

Me: OK Google, stop. OK Google, play CBC Radio.

Google Home: Streaming 95.1 FM CFCY from Tunein.

Me: OK Google, stop. OK Google, play CBC Charlottetown.

Google Home: Streaming CBC Radio One from Tunein.

I’ve almost trained my brain to do this the right way every time, but I still get it wrong about 20% of the time.
