All 223 U.S. Markets within the Local Now FAST Channel are being made available to VIZIO WatchFree+ users.


It marks a big addition to the streaming video platforms that are becoming more popular by the day, as the Allen Media Group Local Now product can be seen on FireTV, SamsungTV+, LG Channels and The Roku Channel.

“This significantly enhances Local Now’s impressive position as the largest local news streamer in the country,” Allen Media said on Thursday.
