Best 24/7 video news channel online
Compared to the various cable and broadcast network news apps such as CNN and Fox News, as well as the Sling App, this is by far the best thing available in the App Store.
It loads very quickly and the live video feed is instant. There is no loading time, even when switching between apps. When there are commercials, you get a simple static screen with a countdown to when the live feed will return. You get all sorts of CBS news programming, including any news shows airing normally on CBS at that time. When no live news is airing on CBS, you get great news anchors and reporters doing a standard, in studio news report that spans all the popular topics, breaking news, etc. Its also FREE! No cable subscription required, no log on required, its just on all the time. You can also watch it on multiple devices like your iPad and AppleTV at the same time.
The CNN and Fox News app take forever to load the live stream and have repetitive commercials over and over again. They also crash and freeze all the time, especially when switching between apps. The Sling App for CNN and other news is also horrible, constantly freezing and only allowing 1 device at a time.
If you are not a cable subscriber and you want a 24 hour news channel you can watch online, this is the best option out there.
