Correction! Command+shift+n.

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,
