How to watch local TV while you’re traveling
Do you wish there was a way to watch your favorite local TV station(s) while you’re traveling? Well, there’s a great chance that you can.
Most local TV stations now stream their broadcasts live, making it easy to watch them online. If your favorite local station provides a livestream, here are a couple of simple options for watching it from virtually anywhere with your smartphone, tablet or laptop:
1 – Visit the station’s website and look for a “Watch”, “Watch Live” or “Live TV” button or link. If you find one simply click on it and you’ll be all set.
2 – If you subscribe to Hulu or another streaming service that streams local channels you can access it that way. Just sign into the app and select the “Live TV” option.
