LX News

LX News, formerly called NBC LX, is a streaming news service geared toward Gen Z and millennial cord cutters and "cord nevers." Tech Crunch reports that "LX is a different sort of news-telling experience — one that's more akin to a news magazine, rather than a traditional local newscast." The reporters are called "Visual Storytellers" and offer local stories and background on complex issues. Tech Crunch quotes a statement from Valari Staab, president of NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations: "Our younger audiences want stories that are relatable. They want to feel a connection with the people delivering the news to them. They want more context about what's happening in their neighborhoods. LX will deliver this and more."

On Roku, LX News offers both a live stream and on demand content. Categories are subject to change based on current events, but the following were available at the time of our review:

  • Russian-Ukraine Crisis
  • Saving Our Earth
  • Health
  • politics
  • Money
  • Fan Controlled Football
  • LX Presents
