This is a quick article to let you know some places you can watch local channels if you don't want to sign up for an expensive streaming TV provider like YouTube TV, Fubo TV, or Hulu with Live TV. This article will be quick because there aren't lots of options available.
LocalBTV
I'll start with LocalBTV, which offers free over-the-air channels. However, while it comes with free local channels and a handy, easy-to-use DVR, it doesn't offer the major networks CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox. But if you mainly want local news and public access channels, this may be exactly what you need. LocalBTV hopes to offer a Premium plan at some point that will include the major networks. However, those plans might never come to fruition if they can't strike a deal with CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox.
PBS
The PBS app offers free PBS content.

Paramount+
You can watch Your local CBS station live on Paramount Plus if you pay for their Premium Plan, which is $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year. If you are a long-time subscriber and signed up when this service was CBS All Access, you should still have access to your local CBS for $5.99 a month or $60 a year. However, if you cancel and then sign up again, you will have to pay $9.99.
Peacock TV
Peacock TV will be offering live NBC TV starting November 30, 2022. According to Tech Crunch "Peacock announced that on November 30, its Premium Plus subscribers will get 24/7 access to their local NBC station in all of NBC's 210 markets, including live TV programming like local news, sports, weather, and entertainment." The Premium Plus plan is $9.99 a month or $99.99 per year.
Hulu
Hulu offers lots of Fox and ABC TV shows but doesn't offer any live streams.

Sling TV
I'll finish with Sling TV. It costs $40 a month and comes with two local channels, NBC and Fox. However, these locals aren't offered in all areas. Check if they are available in your area before signing up.
