What Is Live News?

In the field of media, live news is a term that describes various forms of live transmission without any significant delay. Some examples include television broadcasts and livestreaming on the Internet. Usually, live news streams are broadcast by individual networks or international news channels, as well as by local television stations and other broadcasters. They can also be streamed on the Internet through the respective network’s websites or via digital media players, e.g. Roku, that can be used to watch streaming TV.

Some television stations run national news services that are available online and via Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and other devices. For example, FOX 5 New York’s livestream is called “News Now from Fox.” The same stream can be viewed on Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV. Likewise, WCSC’s livestream is called “Local News Live,” which is Gray Television’s national news network showcasing content produced by the stations.
