Thanks

Hi I think there’s an issue with overmatching in the news that @gez-mycroft is working on (see this [thread](https://community.openconversational.ai/t/news-plays-instead-of-music/8911)). Try “what is the news” and see if that plays your preferred station.

There is a proper fix pending for the issue so hopefully it will be back in order soon

Now I have a new news aggravation. I ask Mycroft to play the news, I get “Here is the latest news from NPR News Now” and nothing plays. The same result if I ask “What is the news?”. I rebooted the unit, no change in behavior. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hey there, the NPR News RSS feed is having an issue on their side.
I’ve posted a work around, just waiting for a review so we can push it up to the Marketplace and out to devices. Should be there in ~24 hours.

@mwgardiner this should now be resolved 🙂

Hello all, I found this topic searching for the same problem. I just did a fresh picroft install, changed the news feed to a custom url, and asked “play the news”. When I say that, it ALWAYS plays NPR. When I say “what is the news”, like @forslund suggested, it plays fine.
I don’t have a problem asking “what is the news”, but I think it would be way more user friendly to just say “play the news”
