Our interest to watch live TV News these year has increased drastically especially with the coronavirus pandemic, Black Lives Matter demonstrations, the elections, and the presidential inauguration. Thankfully, there are a lot of TV news channels accessible for you to see and download for free during these hard times.

How Can I watch Live TV for free?

When you have a high-speed Internet connection, you can watch live news free of charge. Free 24-hour news streams are currently provided by all the Major Four networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC). If you have an over-the-air (OTA) HD antenna that gives you access to the regular and Sunday morning national news as well as daily local coverage, you can also watch the latest news on your local affiliate networks (including PBS) for free.
