Local News Live Launches 24/7 Live Stream Across All Gray Television Stations
26 September 2023 - 6:00PM
Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray”) (NYSE: GTN) announced today that
Local News Live, a streaming news network that provides live news
coverage from Gray’s 113 television markets and Washington DC
Bureau, is now available 24/7 on more than 500 Gray Television
station websites, connected TV apps, and mobile apps. It’s also
available on Gray stations during non-local news hours on several
FAST channels. Local News Live originally launched to provide
content on stations’ streaming platforms during time periods
between live-streamed local newscasts. The new configuration
provides streaming audiences non-stop access to local and national
news feeds on designated channels housed within station CTV apps
and websites.
“Our viewers value both local news and the unique, local
perspectives on national stories Local News Live provides,” said
Gray’s Chief Operating Officer, Sandy Breland. “Our goal is to give
those viewers the flexibility to watch all the content they are
looking for, at any time, from a trusted source.”
Local News Live’s signature program airs daily at 2:00 p.m. (ET)
led by Anchor and National Correspondent Debra Alfarone. The hour
features top stories from Gray stations across the country
told by local journalists. Alfarone also fronts a popular franchise
“The Good Side,” highlighting solutions-based stories and people
who are making a difference across America.
“Debra is able to take viewers inside the headlines America is
talking about, with deeper context from local reporters who know
the stories and the communities where they are happening best,”
said General Manager of Gray’s Washington Operations, Lisa
Allen.
In addition to the expanded streaming opportunities, Local News
Live at 2:00 p.m. will now be carried on WIS, Gray’s NBC Affiliate
in Columbia, South Carolina. In doing so, Gray will bring Local
News Live to an even wider audience by broadcasting the programming
over the air on weekday afternoons.
“We are excited to add Local News Live to our daytime lineup and
provide viewers a broader scope of national coverage with local
impact every day,” said WIS Vice President and General Manager
Robby Thomas.
Local News Live is based out of Gray’s Washington DC News
Bureau.
