During the coronavirus pandemic news breaks at a dizzying pace and it's more important than ever to stay informed. There is some good news for everyone that's stuck at home however: As long as you have decent Internet, you don't have to pay a dime to watch the latest TV news coverage. A wide array of free services stream live news every day, from the latest on the pandemic to what's happening in the world of business and entertainment.
The services below, presented in alphabetical order, consist of standard broadcast-style and cable news as well as international and business-centric options too. All of these services offer content on their own websites, but many are also available on streaming TV devices (Roku, Fire TV and Apple TV), smart TVs and via mobile apps for phones and tablets. In addition, free TV streaming platforms like Roku Channel, Sling TV Free and Pluto TV also offer a lot of these news outlets.
This list includes only video streaming services, but of course there are other options available including news podcasts from the likes of Stitcher, institutions like NPR or a wealth of radio stations. And if you want more local live TV options you could also hang an indoor antenna, a simple process that lets you watch news and other programming free from broadcasters in your area.
