Live news gives you access to the latest breaking stories from around the country and the world. Whether you’re on your computer, phone or TV, you can follow the latest headlines from your favorite networks and local outlets. Watch national channels like CNN and Fox News, plus local news from ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC. Keep up with the latest on politics, business and sports — or check in on local events like a fire ravaging a home or a glacial flood that’s evacuating residents in Juneau.
Most streaming services include some national and regional news channels in their lineups. If you’re interested in comprehensive coverage, consider a service like DirecTV Stream. This live TV streaming service has all the major commercial broadcast news networks, along with cable news channels like BBC America and HLN. It also includes sports and entertainment channels in its base plan, making it a good choice for casual viewers or new cord-cutters.
Another option is Philo. This live TV streaming service offers a slimmer selection of channels than other options, but it still has plenty of news coverage to offer. It also offers on-demand TV shows and movies in addition to live streams. The service has a clear interface and cloud DVR, so you can skip ads and watch your favorite shows whenever you want.
If you just want to stream one or two news channels, try the free ad-supported Pluto TV. This streaming service has a number of popular news networks (Dr. Sanjay Gupta, rejoice!) and is available on most streaming devices. Alternatively, you can get some national and international news for free on the C-SPAN website or by signing up for the free trial of the streaming service Al Jazeera English.
