Live Maryland News Streams

Maryland packs a lot into a small state, and Baltimore anchors its local news. A historic port city on the Chesapeake Bay, Charm City has its own strong identity, from the harbor and the crab houses to the row-house neighborhoods, and it sits close enough to Washington to feel the pull of national events too. The Bay itself is never far from the headlines, whether the story is the environment, the watermen, or a summer storm rolling in.

NewsPlay carries two Baltimore stations, WMAR on ABC and NBC 11 Baltimore. Their newsrooms cover state politics in Annapolis, crime and public safety, the economy from the port to the medical and research centers, and the mid-Atlantic weather that swings from summer heat and humidity to winter's occasional heavy snow. Sports fans can follow the Ravens and Orioles as the seasons turn.

Both stations stream live and free on NewsPlay, with no cable bill and no signup. Whether you are in Baltimore, out toward the Eastern Shore or the D.C. suburbs, or a Marylander keeping up from a distance, it is a simple way to stay connected to the Old Line State.
