Ask Siri to “play the news” in Canada is broken

Recently Apple has changed the default news podcast in Canada from “The World This Hour “ to a podcast that no longer is available “CTV news flash”


So whenever I ask Siri to play the news I don’t hear anything and I see this error.


How can I switch the default news podcast Siri plays back to the World This Hour?


i have created a shortcut to workaround this for now.

Having same problem. When I say “switch to CBC news this hour” Siri says “ok I’ll play the news from cbc from now on”…but next time I ask it gets stuck on the broken CTV link again.


Started a chat with support and their only recommendation was to restart, sign in and out of appleID and reset my phone.
