LG Electronics USA has launched “News Hub,” a dedicated section on its free streaming service, LG Channels, to provide local and national news coverage.

The new offering brings news from major outlets, including ABC News Live, CNN Headlines, LiveNOW from Fox, NBC News Now and Scripps News, along with regional news from stations owned by media groups such as Allen Media Group’s Local Now, E.W. Scripps, Fox Television Stations and Sinclair Broadcast Group.

LG Channels is accessible on LG Smart TVs (models 2016 and later) through its webOS platform, offering consumers free access to premium live and on-demand programming. The News Hub feature adds an extensive selection of local news stations, beginning in key market areas such as Austin, Texas; Washington, D.C.; Salt Lake City; Cincinnati; Las Vegas; Baltimore; and Seattle, with plans for further expansion.

This addition allows LG Smart TV users to easily access news via a dedicated key on the LG Magic Remote or through the home screen. The available local stations include more than 100 from Local Now, part of the Allen Media Group, along with multiple stations from other major regional broadcasters.
