MSNBC’s channel is also behind a paywall, though NBC News does offer its own live-streaming channel for free. As of now, CNN’s live stream is limited to a 10-minute preview, after which users must log in with a pay-TV account. Now would be a good time for CNN and MSNBC to follow Fox’s lead. “Our highest duty as a company is to provide the individuals and communities we serve with information and analysis to help educate and protect them during dangerous times,” Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch said in a statement announcing the free live streams. During the coronavirus outbreak, however, many media companies have been bringing down their paywalls to keep audiences informed. Normally, Fox News is only available to stream as part of a bigger bundle of cable channels, via services such as Sling TV (which starts at $30 per month) and YouTube TV (starting at $50 per month).
Fox is streaming its local news channels in select markets for free via its website and app as well. As C ord Cutters News reports, you can watch Fox News for free at, in the Fox News app, at Fox.com, in the Fox Now app, or via Sling TV, which on Wednesday started providing some content for free with no credit card or registration required.
