Haystack News adds live streaming from ABC News, CBSN and others

Ad-supported streaming service Haystack News has added 24/7 live viewing from a number of leading news networks.

Haystack has built up its name as an aggregator of local, national and world news content, but will hope to reach a new audience with the addition of 16 channels, led by Disney’s ABC News Live and CBSN from ViacomCBS, along with the likes of Al Jazeera, Euronews, Newsmax, Yahoo Finance and a number of live local news broadcast stations from across the US.

This complements Haystack News’s curated news offering from nearly 340 news providers, including more than 300 local broadcast channels.
