I'm not sure how local you are looking for, but there is a Fox affiliate channel (Fox35) on YoutubeTV , which broadcasts local news for central Florida out of Orlando. In addition there is a free app called NewsON, which will give you access to a number of local news channels throughout Florida including Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando and a number of others. You can add that app to your dashboard using the Firestick. This is what my Firestick dashboard looks like, which is fully customizable. I can access YoutubeTV, NewsON, HSN, History Channel and Prime Video by just choosing the icon using my remote. You'll have to excuse me the clarity of the photo. My hands aren't as steady as they once were.
