The free streaming television app Local Now has expanded its live entertainment and news programming by onboarding new content streams from Fox Corporation.

Starting this week, streamers with the Local Now app can watch the free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) version of Fox Sports, climate channel Fox Weather, breaking news streamer LiveNow from Fox and entertainment and lifestyle channel Fox Soul. A channel that re-airs episodes of TMZ is also available.

Local Now is primarily known for its local news channels — the streamer has more than 400 of them, covering all 220 local TV markets across the United States. Local news content feeds from Comcast’s NBC Universal, Paramount’s CBS News & Stations, the E. W. Scripps Company, Cox Media Group and Hearst Television are among those offered within the app.

Local Now is available as a free download on most popular streaming platforms, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV (Google TV) and Apple TV. The app is also offered as a free download on Android and Apple phones.
