Local news

How did I get local programmes especially the local news? If I get the news at all it's only London but more often than not it just counts down and says local news isn't supported! About the throw the box out of the window!!

News App on Macbook Hi. I was wondering why I can't have the News on my MacBook ( I'm in Italy) even if I do have the app on my iPhone, neither if I try changing zone nor language settings. May it help using a VPN re-locating my IP address in the US in order to have the app downloaded? Thanks

Local TV When I watch the news on AppleTV, I get London local news, but I live in Northamptonshire. Can I change so I get local regional news programmes?

News widget in EU is not working 24hrs Though Apple states on the system support page that all services are working, this is not true at all. Everywhere in EU the news widget is not showing news. I understood in the USA there is not an issue. But anywhere else it is. And already for approx. 24hrs. A response on Apple.com or any general communication on the topic would be nice to inform the community. Fix the issue please. When you click on the link shown by the widget you go a page referring to the Apple News app. As said that is only working in the USA. App is not even available here....

Hello,

Like any internet based TV system, it does not receive content from local antenna broadcasts. Apple TV receives all content from the internet. Apple TV compatibility is dependent on the media source, in this case your local news, to provide that service.
