NewsON, launching today, is a first-of-its-kind service that lets users watch local news instantly whenever you want, wherever you are.


"Favorite" the stations that matter most to you -- from where are at the moment to markets where you travel and where your family lives. Then, watch news when it works best for you. The timeline tool allows users to skip to the exact moment you want to watch, from weather and traffic to sports.

Additionally, NewsON allows users to view and share real-time tweets about local news, offering their perspective and helping spread local information.
