Local Now

Local Now has improved its offerings quite a bit over the last year or so. It has gone from a replay of local news to a service with nearly 500 live streaming channels. It's turned into a pretty good service.

Recently, Cord Cutters News gave a good rundown of the channel:

One thing I want to add. PBS isn't available everywhere. In my area, I don't get the local PBS channel. WVAN channel 9 in Pembroke is the closest PBS station, but it's not part of Local Now. Apart from that, the review is spot on.

By the way, I get PBS from the PBS app. Being a PBS supporter, I also get access to the entire PBS library via PBS Passport. Anyone who gives $5/month, or $60/year, gets PBS Passport. I give more. PBS Passport isn't a subscription service for me. It's a bonus I get for supporting PBS. Anyway, I get the statewide GPB feed, rather than any feed of a particular station. It would be nice if it was part of Local Now. I wouldn't drop my support, of course.

My Streaming Life includes a lot of free ad supported television (FAST) services, and Local Now is one of them. It's a good service.
