Atlanta News First expands Roku viewing through ANF+

Atlanta viewers who use Roku can watch Atlanta News First through ANF+, a free streaming offering designed for live and on-demand access on connected TV platforms. The service is positioned as a dedicated streaming destination for continuous news coverage, weather programming and additional newsroom-produced streams beyond the traditional broadcast schedule.

ANF+ is available on Roku alongside other major connected TV platforms, including Apple TV, Android TV and Amazon Fire TV. It can also be accessed through the Atlanta News First mobile app, with a separate option to follow live streams on YouTube.

How to find and add Atlanta News First on Roku

For Roku users, the most direct approach is to locate the channel by name in the Roku Channel Store and add it to the home screen. Roku’s search behavior typically favors exact channel names, which can matter if multiple similarly titled results appear.

  • From the Roku home screen, open Streaming Channels to enter the Channel Store.
  • Select Search Channels and type Atlanta News First.
  • Open the channel page and choose Add channel.
  • Launch it immediately or return to the home screen, where the channel appears in the installed list.

Roku Channel Store search is built around channel names rather than keyword-style discovery, which can make exact wording important when adding news apps.

What viewers can expect inside ANF+

ANF+ is structured around continuous access rather than a single live station feed. The service includes live streaming, on-demand viewing and special-purpose streams tied to major coverage areas.

  • Live programming for rolling coverage and regularly scheduled blocks.
  • On-demand video for viewers watching outside live newscast windows.
  • Special streams, including topic-focused feeds such as courts and trials and special events.

Why streaming access has become central for local TV news

Local TV groups have increasingly invested in connected TV distribution as viewing shifts across devices. In recent years, Gray Media has also pushed broader streaming availability for its national and local digital products, including standalone connected TV apps for its 24/7 streaming news network, Local News Live. That broader push helps explain why local brands like Atlanta News First emphasize platform-based viewing alongside traditional TV access.

For Roku users, the practical takeaway is straightforward: ANF+ is available at no cost, can be installed through the Roku Channel Store by searching the channel name, and offers a mix of live and on-demand coverage designed for viewing on a television screen.
