NewsON - Local News & Weather

Local news in one place

NewsON - Local News & Weather brings live and recent local television news from more than 285 U.S. stations into one app. It suits viewers who want coverage from a specific city or region without switching between separate station apps, as well as people keeping up with home while traveling.

What it offers

• Live streams from participating local news stations.
• On-demand access to newscasts and local segments from the previous 48 hours.
• Breaking-news notifications for significant local stories.
• Station browsing across different U.S. markets, with favorites to make regular channels easier to find.

A practical fit for cord-cutters

The app is centered on video rather than text-heavy headlines, so it works best for viewers who prefer watching a local broadcast. Its wider station selection also makes it useful for comparing coverage across regions or following a hometown market from elsewhere. Availability and stream quality can vary by station, which is worth keeping in mind when using it for time-sensitive news.
