Factual & Documentary News

Some stories need more than two minutes. This category gathers factual, documentary and long-form programming — the channels you put on when you want depth rather than the next headline — all streaming live and free on NewsPlay.

Reuters Now delivers wire-driven news from one of the world's largest international news agencies, giving you a steady, global feed of events as they're reported. Bloomberg Originals runs documentary and feature programming exploring business, technology, design and global affairs. And Dateline 24/7 offers back-to-back true-crime and investigative episodes for viewers who like a mystery told at length.

It's an easy category to leave running in the background and dip into. Choose a channel below to start watching.
