From NFL and NBA matchups to college football, major broadcast events, and trusted local news, the model aims to reconnect streaming households with the content traditionally delivered over the air.

Local broadcast television carries some of the most-watched programming in America, from championship sports to community news. It remains free and universally available over public airwaves. Yet accessing it in a modern household can involve hardware setup, wiring, and technical adjustments.

LocalPlay TV’s patent-pending infrastructure was created to simplify that process while maintaining the traditional mechanics of reception across smart TVs, mobile phones, and tablets.

Subscribers use LocalPlay TV’s access facilities to operate their own television receivers on widely used platforms, including iOS and Android phones and tablets; LG, Samsung, Sony, Hisense, and TCL smart TVs; and streaming devices such as Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV. By aligning with devices consumers already own, the company works to reduce the overall cost and complexity of accessing local broadcast television.

LocalPlay TV does not supply content, manage channels, or store video. It provides access to facilities that allow subscribers to receive broadcasts exactly as local stations transmit them.

That architecture supports the public-interest foundation of broadcasting. Local stations operate on FCC-licensed spectrum granted in exchange for serving communities with news, emergency alerts, and entertainment. LocalPlay TV’s infrastructure aligns with that framework by expanding accessibility without altering broadcast operations.

Ease of use has been a central design priority. For many households, installing and maintaining a rooftop or indoor antenna involves safety considerations, signal calibration, and technical troubleshooting. LocalPlay TV removes those physical barriers while preserving private reception.

Investors and partners see a company focused on durability rather than trend cycles. Instead of competing for exclusive content, LocalPlay TV is building the infrastructure that allows local broadcasting to remain relevant in a multi-device world.

In a fragmented media landscape, infrastructure that respects tradition while enabling modernization stands apart. LocalPlay TV is betting that simplicity, compliance, affordability, and architectural discipline will define the next chapter of local television access.
