Live news is a real-time broadcast of events or information transmitted through television, radio or online platforms. It allows journalists to communicate real-time updates on unfolding stories and enhance audience engagement by providing fresh content as events happen. Live feeds are particularly valuable in breaking news situations, where they enable reporters to convey immediate information and on-the-ground reactions, which can be critical to maintaining public awareness and safety. However, they also pose challenges, including technical issues and ethical considerations, such as balancing the need for immediacy with respect for privacy and sensitivity of those involved in unfolding events.
Hulu offers many live news channels including CNN, Fox News and MSNBC. Its live streaming service is available on all Hulu devices and can be viewed on up to two screens at the same time. It can be added to an Unlimited plan for an additional $7.99 per month. ABC News in Australia has a livestream on its website and on YouTube, which is unmetered by internet service providers in Australia.
Livestreamed news is a broadcast of television or other media by TV networks and news outlets that is available via streaming video on demand services, subscription video on demand websites such as Hulu, mobile apps, digital media players and more. These streams can be watched on smart TVs equipped with a supported internet television receiver, or on devices such as computers, tablets and mobile phones that support streaming television.
