Can I replace my Radio Alarm Clock with a HomePod?

Right now I own a Bose Wave Radio Alarm Clock which I use to wake up on a workday at 6am playing BBC Radio 1 via an ariel. I am interested to know if HomePod can replace this device? I fully aware that HomePod does not have a tuner or ariel however, could I simply setup an alarm on HomePod and stream BBC Radio 1 or maybe even Beats1 (which I have still never listened to because the only time I listen to the radio is in a morning..)? It seems like such a simple task for such a supposedly smart speaker, especially since I believe the Amazon Echo and Google Home are both capable of this feat. If it can then I will seriously consider buying one, if the answer is no then unfortunately, I definitely won't be.
