    I'm a born and raised New Yorker, now living in another state. I used to be able to tune in to Eyewitness News from New York through the NewsOn app on my Roku, but for some reason they stopped carrying it. Having found the ABC7 New York app after buying my Fire TV stick, I can once again catch up on the news from New York, and even watch live broadcasts of the news at certain times of the day. I'm a happy camper again!

    This is free app for ABC 7 News New York, if you live elsewhere or in another state, you could add it to your fire stick or other devices and catch the news in New York. Most of these apps are just for the news broadcasts, but some of them you can catch all the other regular programming from that local station in that area

    For a person who grew up around watching the news with his parents. I found this news station app to be very rich and rewarding in providing information I need about the world's important issues of today. Plus it seem to have less commercials then my pass cable TV.

    Grew up in New York City? If you did, you should remember the Channel 7 news reporter legends like Storm Field, Ernie Anastos, John Johnson, Roz Abrams, Katie Tong, Bill Beutel and the folks on ABC World News Tonight - Frank Reynolds, Roger Grimsby, and other icons. Now you can stay in touch with Channel 7 NYC no matter where you live in the country or world. THis is a great app!

    Not crazy about this. ABC7NY streaming news freezes up. I am constantly going to settings to restart or clicking back on the abc7ny channel to restart. It also does not have World News Tonight with David Muir, Wheel of Fortune and couple more shows we watch. For some strange reason one day last week it played straight through abc7ny news including commercials, through Wheel of Fortune and whatever comes after eastern time. I guess that was a fluke... I have this fire stick on Samsung smart tv. I'm really disgusted. Trying to save money by getting rid of cable box and end up with aggravation. Can't call Amazon for help they're not picking up and didn't respond to email due to covid19. What a bummer!

    I downloaded the WABC-TV NY app to get "Eyewitness News". I enjoy watching that news broadcast. However, as they say; "sometimes you get what you pay for." Being that the app is free, it buffers and freezes up quite a bit. I might have to uninstall this app and forget about it. It's very annoying when I'm watching a live news broadcast, and the app keeps freezing and buffering. Not an enjoyable experience!
