Allen Media Group’s Local Now FAST channel is now available on Vizio‘s WatchFree+ streaming service. Considering WatchFree+ is a completely free service, the Local Now channel is also available to watch at no cost.
The launch of the FAST channel now means WatchFree+ users can turn to Local Now for access to weather, traffic, news, and sports information that’s specifically tailored to their location.
While Local Now specializes in local programming, the FAST channel has gone live in 223 markets across the U.S. This effectively means the channel is available to WatchFree+ users in every market the channel is generally available.
“The launch of Local Now on Vizio’s WatchFree+ strengthens our commitment to delivering hyperlocal news and entertainment at no cost to viewers making it more accessible and convenient than ever before,” said Byron Allen, Founder/Chairman/CEO of Allen Media Group. “Now millions of VIZIO users can access the largest footprint of local FAST channels that feature free premium news, entertainment, sports, weather, and more 24/7.”
For those without access to a Vizio smart TV, it is also now possible to access the WatchFree+ streaming service on an Android phone or iPhone by downloading the Vizio mobile app.
Alternatively, the Local Now FAST channel is also available to stream via a number of other free platforms and services, including Amazon Fire TV Channels, LG Channels, Samsung TV Plus, and The Roku Channel.
