Amazon has launched its News app on Fire TV, the company announced Oct. 22.
The
aggregating app will appear on Fire TV home screens titled “News.” No download
or subscription is required to use the feature, as it’s free and supported by
ads.
Users can
watch news clips and live feeds from providers such as CBS News, Bloomberg,
HuffPost, Yahoo, Reuters, Sports Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly and others.
When users want to watch the news, they can say, “Alexa, play the news,” and
Alexa will automatically open the app and play content. Users can customize
their news experience with the app.
The News
app will be automatically downloaded to Fire TV devices, and users should see
it on their home screen in the ‘Your Apps and Channels’ row. In addition to the
News app, there is also a dedicated News row on the Fire TV homescreen.
The app
will be available to Fire TV customers in the U.S.
