Where stations stream their newscasts
Look up your market on our local channels pages to find the call signs, then search for the station’s app in your TV’s app store. Many stations also publish their newscasts as free channels inside Roku, Fire TV and Samsung TV Plus, under the station’s brand name rather than the call sign.
What you get, and what you don’t
Station streams cover morning, noon, evening and late news, plus live coverage of storms and breaking stories. They usually do not include network shows, NFL games or syndicated programs such as game shows.
Getting the complete station
To see everything a station airs, use an antenna, a network’s own streaming tier where it offers the local feed (CBS through Paramount+, NBC through Peacock’s top plan, FOX through Fox One), a live-TV bundle, or a service that carries the full feed like IPTVMAX.
In severe weather
Broadcast signals keep working when cell and internet networks are overloaded. A small battery-powered TV or radio plus the station’s app on your phone is the most dependable combination.
What readers want to know
Is local news free to stream?
Usually yes. Stations put live newscasts on their own websites and apps, supported by ads.
Why does the station app not show the network shows?
Network programs are licensed for broadcast and certain distributors. Station apps typically carry only what the station produces itself.
What is the best way to follow severe weather?
Keep an antenna TV or battery radio for when the power or internet fails, and the station app for alerts on your phone.
