Here's How to Stream Live Weather and News Events on Roku

When disaster strikes or severe weather hits, this is the time many of us turn to live TV to get up to the minute updates

On-demand streaming is great and all, yet there is a time when watching live breaking news on your Roku can be a necessity. Here are some of the best ways to watch the latest news and weather events live on your Roku

CNN News Channel

While there is no free live CNN News channel on Roku unless you access it with your cable TV credentials. Here's how you can do this.

Here is a free CNN text or audio only site where you can read or listen to all their news stories.

The next time the big one hits, hunker down in a safe spot and get up to the minute live weather and news coverage on your Roku media streamer using any of these channels.

Emergency Radio

If you are directly in the path of a severe storm, you can lose your electricity. If this happens, unless you have a portable generator, your Internet connection, Roku and TV will be unusable.

A good portable emergency weather radio or wideband radio receiver offers access to the NOAA weather channel and many other live news stations as well. This is a must have especially with today's more violent storms.

Find the frequency NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts on in your area.
