How to view local ABC affiliates on Roku.

Jump to solution

Now that ABC has disabled its App. How is one supposed to view their local live ABC affiliate for local news and programming? Hulu, and none of those other channels you can view ABC on do not carry the local ABC affiliates. I am trying to watch WCVB-TV in Boston an ABC affiliate. The Very Local channel that WCVB is associated with does not carry it live, only on demand. So, at six o'clock when I want to watch the news, the only option I have is to watch the Noon edition on demand. Insane. At least on Parmount where CBS has its app you can get the local CBS affiliate WBZ-TV. Disney is destroying television viewing. 

If anyone could be of help, it would be much appreciated.
