how to add an app to AppleTV

I want to watch WGNTV on my LG smart tv but can't figure out how. WGNTV website site states that it livestreams using AppleTV which I have on my smart tv. When I go to AppleTV, I can't find WGNTV nor can I figure out how to add the WGNTV app to AppleTV.

Any suggestions on how to get WGNTV would be appreciated. I miss my local news!

The Apple TV app on 3rd party devices such as your LG TV does not support other apps inside it.


WGNTV has an App you can download to an actual Apple TV streaming box.



It may or may not also have an App you can download to your LG TV from its own App Store separate to the Apple TV App on it.

The use of the term “Apple TV” can be confusing, if there are no further details.
