Channels & viewing

Hello!   I've read online that the local Spectrum News channels (there are about 30 of them) will be available free of charge through Roku and other providers.  Has anyone seen it here?  I did  a search and came up with nothing.  It's supposed to be available even if you do not subscribe to Spectrum TV.

Thanks!

I see it available in the Roku Channel Store.  https://channelstore.roku.com/details/09a5c2905d11b8605d3a11631c1944dd/spectrum-news

Descriptions indicates non-Spectrum subscribers can use for 30 days free.  If you install just click the "ask later" option when the sign-in screen appears.

I installed and poked around a little and provides live access to different states' local news and weather.  You can find it under the "All Live Channels" section. (view all live channels)

It may be a work in progress as it did run a little slow on my Ultra 4660 in loading the channel/app and navigating in menus.  When I exited and tried to relaunch though it would not accept the "ask later" and just kept reloading the screen.

To remedy, I had to perform the Remove, Restart, Reinstall procedure. (remove channel/app, perform a system restart on device, reinstall the channel/app).

Thanks so very, very much!  I did a search for "Spectrum" and "Spectrum News" and it didn't come up.  Perhaps I should have investigated further!  <grin>
