Hello Tina and everyone,
You Tube TV, Sling TV, and Fubo TV include local channels though you may not be
able to receibe PBS.
Another issue you may encounter with these services is that network
channels such as ABC, NBC, and CBS may not stream programs in your local
market. We discovered this Monday evening when we wanted to watch the Texas
Caveleer's River Parade an event that is held during San Antonio's city-wide
celebration called Fiesta. Since we still have our Spectrom service we were
able to pull up our ABC Affiliate and enjoyed the river parade. Spectrom has an
Internet only service you can stream via the Internet eliminating the need for
a set-top box and an antenna. This plan includes your local channels, a few
selected cable channels, and 10 additional cable channels you can add to your
subscription. If we went this route we would pay about $100.00 per month down
from $150.00 using the set-top box and our current Spectrom subscription.
Everyone's situation is different. Might I suggest putting a pencile to it to
decide if you want to completely eliminate your cable subscription or if you
want to keep a basic subscription to avail yourself of in-market channel
programming.

Hi. We may be in the minority here, but we're in an apartment with someone
above us. so an antenna isn't an option and the indoor ones we've tried didn't
work well. In addition to cable cutting we 're interested in finding
accessible ways to get local channels too if anyone knows of such a thing.
We're using devices running android 11, fire tablets and a fire stick, and
windows 10 laptop using jaws, system access and NVDA.
