How to get free KIRO 7 newscasts on your smart devices

KIRO 7 is now offering more free content on digital platforms than any other station in the Seattle market.

Here's how you download the KIRO 7 apps to get that content.

KIRO 7 delivers news, weather and sports content on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Stick, and Smart TV applications including Samsung and Vizio.

Android users can watch KIRO 7 newscasts on television by using Google Chromecast.

Consumers who don't have a television streaming device also have access to KIRO 7 content. Android, iOS, and Windows Phone users simply download one of the KIRO 7 apps or navigate to kiro7.com during newscast times to watch available programming on their mobile or desktop browser.

Retailers such as Amazon have seen a significant increase this holiday season in sales of digital devices. To better assist consumers who have decided to "cut the cord" and are now connecting to content through streaming, KIRO has launched an updated KIRO7apps.com page. The site provides detailed instructions – with written and video tutorials - for how to connect to KIRO 7 programming on all platforms.

The strategy of delivering free content on digital platforms is intended to better reach a busy audience who consume their news in a variety of ways and at different times of the day.

KIRO 7’s content offering varies on each platform and not all programming may be streamed due to various retransmission restrictions.

More detailed information for each device type is available on kiro7apps.com.
