How to Watch the News When You Don’t Have a Cable
2020 kicks off with an incredibly shitty start – with devastating wildfires in Australia , rising tensions between the US and Iran, and continuing earthquakes in Puerto Rico. If you enjoy keeping up with world events, following the news has probably become a full-time job.
If you were one of the roughly 33 million people who ditched cable and satellite TV subscriptions back in 2018, probably in favor of Netflix, Hulu Plus and various other streaming platforms, you are probably working overtime just to keep up. …
Fortunately, going out of your cable TV provider does not mean you are barred from receiving the news; On Reddit, u / phd_dude and others have recommended several free, 24/7 news sources that you can watch online and do not require a cable subscription account to access.
Below are some of these options in case you need to catch up on the day:
- ABC News
- ABC News in Australia (if you want to stay up to date on fire news )
- Bloomberg
- CBS News
- France 24 English
- PBS NewsHour
Don’t forget to download any of the mobile apps from these sources as well. Typically, they allow you to watch live news coverage.
Of course, not all news sources are the same. If you have questions about the reputation of the source, be sure to visit the Media Bias Fact Check . And if you haven’t cut the cable for your cable TV service provider yet , here are some ways to at least cut your cable TV costs.
