NBC / Telemundo just launched 15 local news/FAST streaming channels in the US. > **[NBCUniversal Local FAST Channels See Real Revenue](https://www.nexttv.com/news/nbcu-fast-channels-see-real-revenue)** > > Group now counts 11 NBC station-based channels and 4 regional Telemundo outlets This is on top of the 15 or so local 24/7 streaming/fast news channels that CBS already runs. I don’t think ABC has any. Canada also has abouut a dozen - with Toronto alone having three 24/7 LOCAL fast / streaming channels. Markets down to about 3 million in the US now have 24/7 local news FAST/streaming channels. These things are not that complex or expensive to set up anymore. We must be getting to the point in the 18 months ahead where Seven or Nine launch at least a national one. ---
