MSNBC

So, we've done the cutting the cable thing, can get territorial stations on antenna, have Netflix, prime etc.
Using Apple TV to stream. How can I watch MSNBC besides YouTube, which is rarely current. I have the MSNBC app, but, it keeps telling me I need a tv provider for it to work. I have net only. If I had a tv provider I wouldn't need to stream MSNBC... any ideas?

but you'll have to pay for the service. It's way cheaper than keeping cable. Services like Sling and Pluto may have MSNBC live.

they now insist that I turn off my ad blocker which I did once but found dozens of trackers were involved so I never went there again.

My son lives with us and pays for that. Far less than what we were paying Comcast.

A service called Phylo has a plan that offers MSNBC, I am pretty sure

I have been listening to podcasts on Sticher of the programs, but recently they are not uploaded until the wee hours of the morning.

1. Get a firestick. 2. Download Kodi 3. Install Limitless 4. Click on Live TV. Also use a VPN for speed and protection.

Very easy to subscribe to and listen. They are usually up shortly after the broadcast. I prefer them - not tethered to a chair. Can walk around and do chores while listening.

We're often doing other things while the show is on the tv. So there's not much difference.

It will have various levels of cost, from free to $10 (i think) a month. I anticipate it will have access to MSNBC as part of the package. At least the tease indicates so.

Live broadcast. Blue carries most of the standard basic cable channels for $25 and the News addon is $5 a month. I get it onto my TV with my Roku stick.

Sling does support Apple TV: https://www.sling.com/supported-devices
