If you want the most trusted option for dependable local news and live channel streaming, a strong pick is:

CBS News app / CBS News Streaming Network

  • Offers live local CBS station news in many markets
  • Has a reputation for reliable, straightforward reporting
  • Good for viewers who want a mix of breaking news, local coverage, and live streams

That said, the best app for local news depends on your city, because no single app covers every local station everywhere.

Other trusted options to consider

  • NewsON – great for free live local news from many U.S. stations
  • Haystack News – strong for personalized local + national news
  • Local station apps – often the best source for the most direct local coverage
  • ABC News / NBC News / CBS News apps – good if your area has live local station support

Best overall choice

  • For live local news: NewsON
  • For a very trusted major-news brand: CBS News
  • For the most dependable local coverage in your area: Your local TV station’s app

If you tell me your country or city, I can recommend the best specific app for your location.
