With Locast you can stream ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC among others for free in Denver, Washington DC., Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, and New York.
Recently Locast has rolled out an Apple TV, Fire TV, and Roku app letting you stream locals for free. This comes just a few days after Locast added support for Android TV meaning you can now watch Locast on the Roku, Fire TV, Android TV, and Apple TV. You can add Locast to your Apple TV HERE.
