The free news app on Amazon Fire TV now offers original channels in another 60 metropolises, including Charleston, Wichita, Tucson, Reno, Raleigh-Durham and Honolulu. That means live and on- demand original news content is now available for 158 metropolises. Amazon has also nearly doubled the total number of channels from 126 to 259.
Amazon launched the app in late 2020 with channels in a dozen metropolises, and it expanded to 88 metropolises in March. The app includes news content from indigenous divisions of ABC, CBSN, TEGNA, Cox, The EW Scripps Company and Altice USA. While the app does not yet offer content from relatively as numerous stations as NewsON (which has further than 275 channels), it’s ignited into Fire Television — you do not need to download another app When you visit the Local News tab in Amazon’s app, Fire Television will automatically add stations from the closest metro area. Observers can also pierce live and on- demand content by asking Alexa to” play original news.”
