The Best Free News Streaming Service Just Added 50 Stations

I love Haystack News. Unlike every other news streaming service, Haystack allows you to customize your sources, skip past or “thumbs down” stories you don’t like, repeat stories you want to watch again, and check out popular stories from around the country. It’s a great experience and it’s free! Even better, Haystack just signed a deal to bring in news from 50 TEGNA-owned stations.

Every other streaming service with news forces you to watch a linear virtual channel that is sometimes bogged down by awful anchor chit-chat or segments I don’t want to watch. With Haystack, I choose the channels that will provide segments to my feed. I’ve selected all the providers in my city and some stations from my hometown where my parents still live.

You can choose to block or focus on certain topics.

Best of all, Haystack’s commercial breaks are short and rare. It’s really miles ahead of every other news option. Give it a shot and you’ll get a full day of news in a fraction of the time.
