Unable to stream CBC Radio 2 on HomePod

Tunein has a stream, but HomePod fails to stream no matter how I ask? (https://tunein.com/radio/CBC-Music-Toronto-941-s16699/)

Tune-in Radio not working on Apple Homepod mini I have a new (April 2024) Homepod mini. I am unable to listen to radio using Tune-in. When I say "Play WBEZ from Tune-in" I get the 2 different responses "you need to conitinue on your personal device" or "I could not find WBEZ in your apply music library" I do not have Apply Music. I know I can stream it from my phone, but that defeats the purpose of having a speaker I can talk to. Help please.

HomePod bug with TuneIn radio stations Utterly sick of this. "Hey Siri, play Jazz FM radio" works periodically or not at all, replying with the usual "Jazz FM is not in your Apple Music Library" message. Finally spoke to Apple support which was absolutely hopeless. They said the problem is with "the TuneIn app" and I need to call them. However, I pointed out that I do not have the TuneIn 'app', I have never used the word "TuneIn",and it is they, Apple, who decide to call the TuneIn API or whatever to retrieve the stream for that radio station. They would not have this and said it's something that cannot and will not help with. So I suggested they remove the functionality as it is (a) broken and (b) THEY are making the connection between the word 'radio' and TuneIn leaving me no way to connect to "XXX radio". This is a hopeless state of affairs. Has anyone actually managed to solve this issue, or tried contacting TuneIn? I have now raised a support case with TuneIn but I'm not hopeful...

Apple HomePod mini Issues connecting with RTE Radio 1 For the last month I cannot access RTE Radio 1 through my Apple HomePod mini. I can get R na G, Lyric etc, but Tune In no longer seems to recognise the instruction to "Play RTE Radio 1"

Yes, it successfully plays CBC Radio 1, but has no luck playing CBC Radio 2. Strange thing is TuneIn that supplies the streaming for Apple has CBC Radio 2 in its database?
