If you want to stream the local TV news in Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota, Miami, or other places around the state, you can do that by searching for things like “Orlando TV Station Live Stream”.

I like to live stream WWSB in Sarasota from Minnesota to see the local news and weather. This doesn’t cost anything. Once you figure out the web address, make a favorite, shortcut, or icon for the streaming site.

I’ve streamed the news and weather from various TV stations around Florida, and the US. Sometimes you just need to search for the city name and TV stations. With that search result you can figure out the TV station call letters, like WFTV in Orlando. Then search for the call letters and live stream.

You then need to figure out when the TV station streams the news. WWSB streams the news several times a day, but doesn’t seem to stream on the weekends. Some TV stations stream a lot more programming than the local news.

If you have a Roku, you can also try searching for the TV station call letters. Many TV streams are available on Roku. All of those streams are free.

During Irma, I was streaming many different Florida TV stations, including WINK. Many had continuous, non-stop, 24 x 7 news and weather with no commercial breaks.
