Why can't I tune the radio to the Poké Flute station?

I am standing next to the sleeping Snorlax near Vermilion City.

I have completed the power plant quest and I have the radio extension in my Pokégear.

In order to awaken the Snorlax I am trying to tune my Pokégear to the Poké Flute station as I have seen it done in several videos and tutorials online. However, I have looked through all the frequencies and I can not find it. On the frequency that the tutorials show, I get no radio station at all.

Right after you get the EXPN Card from the old guy in the Lavender Town, go to Vermillion City. Then run to the Snorlax on Route 11. Go to your PokeGear then go to the Radio part. Make sure the little circle thing is at the middle of the very top of circle, and then you will hear the PokeFlute sound.
