Various streaming apps offer packages that include local broadcast channels. Services like YouTube TV, Hulu, Sling, offer such packages. Many cable/satellite companies offer local channels as well using apps that run on the Apple TV.


In case you are wondering, the Apple TV hardware has no internal TV tuner. The user cannot connect an antenna and watch local broadcast TV. There are third party hardware products available that provide that ability through apps that run on the Apple TV, basically a TV tuner with network connectivity.
