Cannot create station for WCBS Newsradio 880 #119

When trying to create a new station for WCBS Newsradio 880 AM, the station comes up as broken. This issue seems to affect only Gradio. It has been reported on Gradio Github page but no response yet, so I am reporting it here.

First tried to create in Gradio app. No success. Then tried on radiobrowser website. Still no success.

All info is carefully entered using a compatible URL: http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/WCBSAMAAC.pls (or, alternately, http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/WCBSAM.pls) which plays in VLC, Radio Tray and Clementine on Linux Mint 18.3. Also plays in iTunes on a Mac.

New station is broken immediately. Never has worked. I have successfully created a new station in the past.

Tried to create the station several times, using slightly different names. Waited until the unplayed stations were automatically deleted. Tried again. No luck.
