Live Kentucky News Streams

Kentucky is horse country, bourbon country, and river country all at once, and Louisville sits at the heart of it. Each spring the city hosts the Kentucky Derby, drawing the eyes of the world, but the local news here tells the fuller story of a state shaped by the Ohio River, the coalfields, the farms, and the small towns tucked into the hills.

NewsPlay carries WHAS Louisville, the market's ABC station and a familiar face across the region. Its newscasts cover state politics in Frankfort, the economy from the distilleries to the auto plants, and the weather that keeps Kentuckians on their toes, from flooding along the rivers to spring severe storms, tornadoes, and the occasional winter ice storm. Sports coverage stays busy year-round, with the fierce loyalties of Louisville and Kentucky basketball fans never far from the surface.

WHAS streams live and free on NewsPlay, with no subscription and no login. Whether you are in Louisville, out in one of Kentucky's many small communities, or watching from somewhere else and missing the Bluegrass State, it is an easy way to keep up with home.
