Can I ask Siri to play radio stations that *aren't* on Apple Music? (e.g. "Play BBC Radio 2")

I am thinking of replacing my Amazon Echo with a HomePod but I want to be sure the HomePod can do what I want it to.

I have an Amazon Echo and every morning I ask it to "Play Radio 2" or "Play Virgin Radio" and it will play those radio stations. I can't seem to do this with Siri on my iPhone, so assume I won't be able to do it on the HomePod either. I don't want to use Airplay for this.

Is anyone doing this successfully?

What smart devices can it control - lighting switches/plugs, door locks, security systems, cameras, etc?
