Abstract

The article discusses DirecTV's MyNews package, which now offers a cost-effective way to stream local broadcast channels in select U.S. markets. For $40 a month, subscribers can access ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC in five major cities, with additional coverage in over a dozen other markets. This service is particularly appealing to cord cutters seeking local channels without the higher costs associated with traditional pay TV packages. While MyNews is not yet available nationwide, DirecTV aims to expand its local channel offerings ahead of the football season, providing a more affordable option for viewers who cannot receive these channels via antenna.
