Apple TV 4K & Siri not finding feeds in CBC app (Canada)

[Ian.Austen]

After listening to the Vector podcast on Siri as a platform I decided to revisit Siri. I asked Siri “to play CBC the national “ Siri did a search and said it could not be found. The CBC App is installed and I can play the national feed by navigating to it. What am I missing? Is the CBC app not searchable?

Hopefully, someone who uses the app on their TV 4K will reply soon.

I did receive a reply from CBC support if this helps anyone else.
“Hello,

Thank you for contacting CBC with your question.

As I understand it, Siri only has a limited ability to search within most third-party (Non-Apple) apps. This has been changing as Apple increases the functionality as a service with each iOS update, but at present with the CBC News app it unfortunately cannot really search for a program like The National for you, and you still need to do that manually.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help and thank you again for your email.”
