About NewsPlay

NewsPlay is a curated offering of the world’s best live free news channels — the lean-back cable experience for the online era.

It’s built for news-hungry viewers in the United States and around the world who want a variety of sources, views, and insights — the one place for fast, free, and diverse news channels spanning US news, politics, weather, sports, opinion, world affairs, business, and factual TV. Live and free, curated for the news junkie: on Connected TV at home, and on the go on tablet and smartphone. NewsPlay is where the news lives.

Free and ad-supported, NewsPlay streams 86+ live, 24/7 news channels across US news, world affairs, business, weather, factual, local, opinion, and multilingual programming — from ABC News Live, BBC News, and Al Jazeera English to Bloomberg, AccuWeather, NHK World, and dozens of local broadcasters across the United States. No subscriptions, no logins, no algorithm picking what you watch. Just live news, on demand, the way it used to feel turning on the TV.

NewsPlay is available in your browser at newsplays.com, and as native apps on Amazon Fire TV, Google Play, and Roku, with LG webOS coming soon. Built for the FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) era and designed mobile-first — with a sticky player, swipe-to-switch channels in fullscreen, and a cable-guide-style channel browser that puts discovery back in the viewer’s hands.

NewsPlay is operated by Northover Media, Inc., a Delaware C-Corporation. The team behind NewsPlay brings experience across major newsrooms and streaming platforms — including News Corp, Paramount Global, and Network Ten — which shapes the editorial neutrality and broadcaster-relationship discipline that NewsPlay is built around.
