Stream BBC World News Live: How to Watch Online

Stream BBC World News Live: 4 Ways to Watch Global News Online

1) FuboTV

• Cost: $44.99 for your first month and $54.99 per month thereafter
• FuboTV devices: Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Android TV, iOS and Android devices
• Local channels: Fox, NBC, CBS, the CW (in some markets) (check local availability here)

FuboTV is a solid TV streaming service option, whether your tastes run to entertainment (AMC, Syfy, FX) or news (BBC World News, MSNBC, CNN). It’s also got a good selection of local channels; depending on your market, you’ll have access to CBS, Fox, and NBC and those local affiliates.

If you’re a sports fan, it will appear tailor-made for you, with NBA TV, NFL Network, NBCSN for Premier League matches, 10 BeIN Sports channels for La Liga and Ligue 1, FS1, FS2, UniMás, and Champions League action via TNT all on tap. If you can’t watch a game or match live, FuboTV offers a three-day replay for each match and 30 hours of cloud DVR. (Check out the complete FuboTV channels list.)

FuboTV also has bilingual families in mind; each subscription comes with UniMás, Galavisión, NBC Universo, beIN SPORTS, Univision, and Fox Deportes. An extra $7.99 per month will bring you Latino Plus, which includes CNN en Español and TyC Sports among its offerings.

2) Sling TV

Sling TV provides two base channel package options, each priced at $30 per month. Sling Orange includes three ESPN channels, while Sling Blue includes sports channels like NFL Network as well as local channels. (Sling Blue customers in select markets get NBC, see if yours has it here.) Sling Blue also brings Fox News Channel, MSNBC, and Headline News as part of its regular slate of channels, with BBC World News available for those who get the News Extra add-on with either the Blue or Orange package.

If you’re Team “Why Not Both,” Sling Orange + Blue combines the two for just $45 per month.

Other features include a Free Cloud DVR tier for all subscribers (allowing 10 hours of recording a month), the ability to record all live linear channels, and no VOD preemption on any channels. New subscribers get $10 off the first month.

Spanish-speaking viewers have quite a few options. For bilingual families, you might consider the Español: Best of Spanish TV package for either Sling Orange or Sling Blue for 24/7 specialty channel LaLiga TV and beIN SPORTS Connect: Channels 4-9, which features matches from La Liga, Ligue 1 and Copa del Rey, among others. Both packages cost $5 per month after your free trial. Sling TV Latino is another Spanish-language package for $10 per month, including NBC Universo, History en Español, and—of import to soccer fans—four BeIN Sports channels. (And choosing Best of Spanish + Sling Orange for $35 per month gives you access to ESPN Deportes.) For more information, check out our guide to Sling TV channels and our Sling TV review.

How to use AirTV with Sling

AirTV solves one of the Sling’s biggest problems: The inability to receive all of your local channels. By purchasing a basic AirTV for $79.99 or the AirTV Player for $119.99, you can merge those local channels into your Sling TV, (or on your mobile device if you have the basic AirTV). As the Daily Dot wrote in its AirTV review, “It’s practically magic.”

The basic AirTV is a dual-tuner streaming device, while the AirTV Player is basically an upgraded Chromecast that has Netflix preinstalled. You’ll still need to own an HD antenna because even though AirTV gets you access to your local channels, it doesn’t actually physically show them to you.

But AirTV—which has no monthly fee—gives Sling users the ability to access all local channels to add to whichever Sling package is the best fit for them.

3) YouTube TV

YouTube TV is a great option for people who want a streaming package that includes local channels, offering all the major options in a great number of markets. YouTube TV is also a great option for people who gravitate toward news. Sports fans will appreciate the full suite of ESPN and Fox channels, TNT, NBCSN, and broadcasting partnerships with three MLS teams. (Take a look at the full list of YouTube TV channels here.)

4) Philo

• Cost: $20 a month
• Philo Devices: Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Amazon Fire Stick, Android TV. Android, iOS

Philo is a 59-channel package of mostly pop culture and entertainment-oriented offerings. BBC World News is included, along with Cheddar News, to bring news into the slate of Philo Channels. For people who don’t want to spend a lot on a streaming services, but want the likes of Comedy Channel, Food Network, and MTV, Philo’s worth a look.
