You can also select at least 2 streams then press command+option+n
give the playlist a name, press return and delete the unwanted stream
from the playlist. I stumbled upon this solution quite by accident.

Has anybody found that "New Playlist from Selection" does not work

I was able in the old Itunes to find a station to listen to and hit
"command shift N" and it would bring up the dialogue for naming the
play list but it does not seem to be working when that stream is
selected whether or not you interact with songs table or not! What
is going on?
Ouch! Yup, I just took a look at this. And if you make a selection
and then check the File menu by using (VO-M to go to the Menu Bar,
Press "F" to go to the File, and Arrow Down) you'll find that New
Playlist from Selection is Dimmed. The only items you can use
Command-Shift-N ("New Playlist from Selection") on are the top
level categories for each Stream. Then you can delete the streams
you don't want. Sorry about that, but that's the only thing I can
suggest. If you want to put together a Radio Stream Playlist, or
amend a previous one, try first creating some regular playlists this
way, then put them together into a Smart Playlist. You would use
the "Command-Option-N" shortcut to create a new smart playlist and
use rules like "Playlist is <my Classical stream playlist name>" and
"Playlist is <my Blues playlist name>". Then stop interacting with
the rules section and VO-left arrow to the start of the Smart
Playlist where it says "Match all of the following rules" and press
(VO-space) the popup button to change "all" to "any".
Press return and enter a name for the smart playlist.
Alternatively, you could use VoiceOver's drag and drop to add the
contents of one playlist to another, but that's more of a pain to
do. HTH.
Cheers,
