PBS Launches Free Live Local Streaming of 85 PBS Stations

After launching on YouTube TV late last year, PBS is now making it’s local networks available to stream for free. To start, the live stream will be available from ~85 PBS stations (a full list is below), but PBS says that more stations will be available to stream in the future.

When you go to the live stream, it will detect your location, which will only allow streaming of PBS stations in your broadcast area.

Currently, streaming is available on major web browser like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. You can also stream using the PBS Video Channel on Roku devices (just select Live TV from the home screen). While it’s not available on platforms like Apple TV or Fire TV, they are exploring bringing it there in the near future.


I've kept basic cable to access PBS - this makes it easier to go full Roku.
