TEGNA Inc. announced it will be rolling out new over-the-top (OTT) streaming apps and 24-7 streaming channels for its 64 stations in 51 markets. 11Alive+ in Atlanta and WTHR13+ in Indianapolis are piloting their new apps now with additional stations set to launch apps through the second quarter. Updated streaming apps will initially be available on Roku and Fire TV, with additional platforms slated to launch later this year.

Building on the success of its first-generation apps launched in 2021, TEGNA stations' newly redesigned apps are a one-stop destination for local stories that matter. Each new streaming app will feature a local twenty-four-hour “Watch” stream, which will include live local news, newscast replays, extended live coverage, weather, and station specials and investigations. Station's “Watch” streams will also include: Local Sports Shows; VERIFY; Daily Blast LIVE.

Consumers can also navigate to on-demand streaming channels to catchup on their favorite newscasts, view the latest forecast and extended coverage, watch Locked On shows for sports news, analysis and commentary on their favorite local sports teams and go deeper into VERIFY stories across topic areas. Premion, TEGNA's OTT advertising platform, is selling stations' premium streaming app inventory. Since 2020, TEGNA stations have significantly increased digital viewership, achieving record audiences across platforms in key metrics such as visitors, video plays and monthly active users.

Additionally, Locked On Podcast Network has more than 16 million monthly listens and views, and VERIFY stories reach more than 5 million unique visitors each month across platforms.
