About NewsPlay

NewsPlay is the lean-back cable experience for the online era.

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 iOS. 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. Founded and led by Ryan Northover, whose sixteen years across News Corp, Paramount Global, and Network Ten Australia shape the editorial neutrality and broadcaster-relationship discipline that NewsPlay is built around.
