Montreal, October 21, 2026 — Stingray (TSX: RAY), the world’s leading connected streaming media company, today announced the expansion of TuneIn’s news lineup with the addition of all eight ABC Owned Television Stations FAST channels, bringing local news, weather, and Localish programming from major U.S. markets, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia, to listeners across more than 200 connected devices and vehicle integrations.

The expanded lineup strengthens TuneIn’s comprehensive local and national news coverage, giving listeners another way to stay connected 24/7 to the communities that matter most, whether at home or on the go. 

“People have a real connection to their local news and often rely on these stations every day for community updates, weather, events, and more,” said Rich Stern, CEO of TuneIn. “ABC has a strong presence in some of the biggest markets in the country, and bringing these stations to TuneIn gives listeners easy access to what’s happening in their communities wherever they are.”
