Gray Media has debuted a new app focused on its Local News Live streaming channel, offering access to the around-the-clock news stream as well as local broadcasts from its TV markets.

The service started hitting app stores last week, and is now available for Amazon Fire TV, Roku and Apple TV devices along with Android and Apple phones and tablets.

The app is free, and offers news from journalists across Gray Media’s portfolio of 113 television stations and news bureaus.

“Local News Live delivers a local perspective on national stories by tapping into the expertise of Gray journalists in 113 markets,” said Sandy Breland, the Chief Operating Officer at Gray Media. “With this new streaming presence, our reach will expand to deliver that unmatched breaking news coverage and impactful information to a national audience.”

Launched in February 2021, Local News Live distributes its rolling news coverage across more than 500 Gray Media-owned local news websites, connected TV apps and mobile apps. The service is based out of Gray Media’s Washington, D.C. news bureau.

“We are excited to grow our footprint to the rest of the US to serve even more viewers with our unique blend of national coverage through a local lens,” Lisa Allen, the General Manager of Gray Media’s Washington-area operations, said in a statement.
