Live New York News Streams

New York is really two very different worlds, and NewsPlay carries stations from both. Downstate, New York City is the biggest media market in the country, a place where local news covers the five boroughs, the subways, city hall and Albany politics, crime and the cost of living, and the relentless pace of life in the nation's largest city. Upstate, life runs at a different rhythm, shaped by older industrial towns and the famous lake-effect snow.

In the city, NewsPlay carries FOX 5 New York, covering the sprawling metro area and the tri-state region around it. Far to the west, WGRZ in Buffalo brings NBC coverage of a proud upstate community that knows how to handle a blizzard, where Lake Erie and Lake Ontario can bury neighborhoods in feet of snow. Buffalo's newscasts follow local politics, the economy, and a city that lives and dies with its beloved Bills, while New York City's teams from the Yankees to the Knicks fill the sports reports downstate.

Both stations stream live and free on NewsPlay, with no subscription and no login. Whether you are in the city, upstate, or a New Yorker watching from far away, it is an easy way to stay close to the Empire State.
