“We’ve been marching westward, and we couldn’t be more excited that we’ve hit the Pacific,” said David Goodfriend, founder of Locast. “Now, anyone located in Los Angeles or San Francisco can get their over-the-air local broadcast station’s news, weather, emergency information, or sports programming online without paying an arm and a leg for cable, satellite or subscription OTT service fees.”
“Los Angeles, home to Hollywood and the entertainment industry, loves good TV. Now, Angelenos can get their local broadcast TV stations online through Locast, staying connected to the best in local and network programming,” added Goodfriend.
“With the professional football pre-season around the corner, football fans in California now can watch their local teams on a laptop, smartphone, smart TV, or other connected device without fear of blackouts, poor over-the-air reception, or outrageously priced sports packages,” Goodfriend noted.
Recently Locast was able to launch service in Sioux Falls and Rapid City thanks to generous contributions from local businesses and residents of these communities. “I believe that these kinds of local partnerships will be the foundation for Locast’s success for years to come. We hope to replicate this relationship with many local businesses in communities across the country,” said Goodfriend.
