There are five different devices for streaming available on Fire TV: Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Stick with Alexa, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and the Fire TV Cube. You need two things: an HDTV with the right streaming platform (it can be an Internet connected Smart TV or an older non-Internet connected HDTV) and the News 6+ streaming app.Īmazon’s Fire TV is the second most popular set of streaming devices that carry the News 6+ app (about 30% our News 6+ audience watches us on a Fire TV device). That’s a good start, but to get the full experience of News 6+, you want it on your nice big HDTV! There is a version you can watch on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone browser (go to ) but that webpage only shows you our live on-air newscasts, special event streams, or a News 6+ playlist of selected stories (available when we are not producing a live newscast). If you’re reading this story, you’re looking for help on how to watch News 6+ using a Fire TV device (don’t worry, we got you covered).įirst of all, the full version of News 6+ is only available for your HDTV.
