I don’t see MacRumors being suggested by Siri

I am getting the message in screenshot I posted above, “Channel Unavailable”
I’m not sure why it’s not working. The channel is set up to be available everywhere.
 
Still not seeing MacRumors under Following tab regardless I always use safari on iPhone and Mac.
 
Is there any trick or anyone else able to get MacRumors to show up in the Apple News app?

Moved this to site feedback.

Can anyone else help? The site shows for me, but I'm in the U.S.

I have tried to to type MacRumors in Search and doesn’t show. Possible because my Apple News is shows only Canadian searches?

Ya, that's the weird part. MacRumors channel is set for Canada. So it seems an Apple issue.

Ok, so I switched my Apple ID and AppStore’s from Canadian to USA, using VPN. Apple News showed MacRumors in search, I clicked on the heart to follow. When I switched my Apple ID back to Canadian. It still shows that I am following MacRumors but it’s shows that channel unavailable in my region message.

I've removed Canada and re-added it. Can you see if that helped at all?

Apple does say in the beta release notes that "publications in the beta do not reflect all content that will be available," so they unfortunately appear to be limiting things on their end for now. We're set up to be available in Canada, so it's a matter of Apple flipping the switch to expand available news sources there.
 
Follow up, I still can’t follow MacRumors and doesn’t show up in search. But to my surprise 9to5Mac and CNN now shows in search and able to follow.This is Apple News app for Canada.
