FOX LOCAL is a dedicated streaming application for accessing live and on-demand news from FOX Television Stations across the United States. The app's primary function is delivering the live broadcast feed from a user's local FOX affiliate directly to their iPhone or iPad. This is particularly valuable for viewers who want to catch a specific morning show, the evening news, or severe weather coverage while away from their traditional television. The interface typically allows users to select their local station after granting location permissions, providing a straightforward path to the relevant live stream. Beyond the live broadcast, the app offers video-on-demand segments, letting users catch up on specific stories they may have missed. For weather, many integrated stations provide live radar maps and severe weather alerts pushed directly to the device. A significant strength noted in user reviews is the app's reliability for viewers traveling or living abroad who want a consistent connection to hometown news. The main limitation is that content availability is inherently restricted to markets served by FOX-owned stations, so it won't be a solution for accessing local news from non-FOX network affiliates. Some users have reported occasional streaming hiccups during periods of high server load, but overall stability is considered solid. The app is free to use and does not require a cable subscription, though some station feeds may incorporate commercial breaks as they appear on the live broadcast.
