\nNonprofit Locast is only service streaming more than two dozen local TV channels \u2013 for free \u2013 over internet into Bristol and rural Tennessee
\n<\/h2>\n

TRI-CITIES, Tenn., May 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Locast<\/a>, America\u2019s only nonprofit, free, local broadcast TV digital translator streaming service, is now delivering more than two dozen local TV channels via the internet \u2013 for free \u2013 to the nearly 700,000 residents living in the Tri-Cities, which reaches the northeastern Tennessee cities of Bristol, Johnson City, and Kingsport, as well as the surrounding rural area bordering Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia. The Tri-Cities is the 32nd Locast market.<\/p>\n

Locast collaborated with municipally-owned utility provider Bristol Tennessee Essential Services<\/a> (BTES) for the location of the Locast data server. BTES is an electric utility that also provides an advanced fiber optic network that supports its electric system and offers Internet, telephone and cable TV services.<\/p>\n

\u201cBTES is a municipal-owned utility that has communication services available to more than 33,000 customers in a 280-square-mile service area in the City of Bristol and Sullivan County, Tennessee. We\u2019re pleased to assist Locast in its not-for-profit mission of delivering local TV channels via the Internet to those who cannot afford pay TV or cannot receive an over-the-air signal due to the topography found in northeastern Tennessee,\u201d said Mike Browder, CEO of BTES.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Locast, we understand the challenges consumers face when trying to watch their local off-air broadcast TV channels in an area with steep mountains, rolling hills and valleys like those surrounding the Tri-Cities,\u201d said David Goodfriend, founder and chairman of Locast. \u201cWe\u2019re pleased to have BTES aid in our mission by providing us the ideal data center for delivering dozens of local news, weather, sports and other TV channels via the internet to consumers\u2019 phones, tablets, laptops or streaming media devices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goodfriend added, “Reflecting their commitment to public service, BTES is helping to bring Locast to consumers in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia throughout the entire Tri-Cities market, even to people living outside of the BTES service area.”<\/p>\n

As a nonprofit, Locast provides a critical public service by increasing access to important local news, storm coverage, emergency information, COVID health and safety updates, election coverage, sports, and entertainment programming on the go, over the internet, on any device.<\/p>\n

So-called \u201ccord cutters,\u201d who cancel their increasingly expensive pay-TV subscriptions, and \u201ccord-nevers,\u201d who have never subscribed to pay-TV services, represent a significant proportion of Locast users. For those who cannot afford pay TV or cannot receive an over-the-air signal, Locast is often their only link to local broadcast news, emergency information, weather, sports, and entertainment.<\/p>\n

Locast delivers 27 local TV channels in the Tri-Cities designated market area (DMA), including WCYB NBC 5, WEMT FOX 39, WJHL ABC\/CBS 11, as well as DABL, Antenna, CourtTV, Mystery, MeTV, TrueCrime, the CW, Grio, BOUNCE, Quest, LAFF, COMET, ION, GRIT, Charge!, and more.<\/p>\n

Locast is accessible to viewers in 19 counties in the Tri-Cities DMA including Leslie and Letcher counties in Kentucky; Carter, Greene, Hawkins, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi, and Washington counties in Tennessee; and Bristol City, Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Norton City, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Washington, and Wise counties in Virginia.<\/p>\n

Locast was started by consumer advocate David Goodfriend, a Washington, D.C.-based attorney who founded the nonprofit advocacy organization, Sports Fans Coalition<\/a>, in 2009. He helped lead the fight against the NFL and large media companies by petitioning the FCC to end the 40-year-old, anti-fan Sports Blackout Rule. Sports Fans Coalition won in 2014 when the FCC voted unanimously to end the practice, giving fans greater access to watch their local football team. Goodfriend founded Locast in 2018 to help ensure widespread availability of local TV channels.<\/p>\n

Locast now has more than 2.6 million registered users nationwide in 32 markets \u2013 large and small \u2013 reaching more than half of the U.S. population. Compared to most streaming services, which charge fees, Locast offers free TV.<\/p>\n

Locast operates under the\u00a0Copyright Act of 1976<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that allows nonprofit translator services to rebroadcast local stations without receiving a copyright license from the broadcaster. The federal statute (17 U.S.C. 111(a)(5)) states that a nonprofit organization may retransmit a local broadcast signal and collect a fee to cover the cost of operations. Locast asks viewers to donate as little as $5 per month to help cover operating costs. The donation is voluntary and not required.<\/p>\n

\n How to watch local TV without cable or an antenna:<\/strong> Locast is available for streaming at www.locast.org<\/a>, app stores, TiVo, streaming device providers Google Play, Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon, and ROKU, and on DISH Hopper\/Wally receivers or select DIRECTV receivers. Locast also offers Spanish-language access to the Locast app\u2019s user-interface, log-in screens, and program guide. Complete local TV guides are available at www.locast.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
