    Frank1947​  Depending on where you are, you can download the local channels that have Roku apps on store.  For example, I am in the Atlanta area and can get the major networks (ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX) local affiliates by downloading their apps.  Keep in mind, that the streaming apps will not exactly be the same experience as say cable or over the air (Antenna).  You will get the local news casts though. through those apps.   Keep in mind that not all local channels have streaming apps and may only be available via a streaming service or over the air.

    Welcome, Frank1947  ​ 

    Thanks for pointing out that there's no option to enter a Zip code through the Roku menu. Features like antenna input and a built-in live TV guide are only available on certain Roku models (Roku TVs) that include the necessary hardware. If your device doesn’t support those features, you can still enjoy live content by using streaming apps such as YouTube TV, Sling, or Hulu Live.

    Hope this helps!
