COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina ETV (SCETV) is now live streaming ETV-HD on Local Now, a free streaming service for local news and entertainment, adding an additional way for viewers to access SCETV content whenever and wherever they are.

Local Now’s audience will now have access to inspiring and educational content from SCETV’s locally-produced shows, along with other PBS favorites– including PBS Newshour, Frontline and Antiques Roadshow.

SCETV and additional participating PBS stations will make Local Now available to audiences in more than 300 markets and cities across the country, with the full launch completed by the end of this year. The partnership represents PBS’s continued commitment to make its quality and award-winning content accessible to all Americans on as many digital platforms as possible.

Late last year, Allen Media Group announced its partnership with PBS, which launched the new PBS Digital Studios FAST channel on Local Now. The FAST channel offers original series and short-form content that explores science, arts, culture and more.

Local Now provides localized news, weather, sports, traffic and entertainment, produced by various leading news organizations. It offers more than 450 free-streaming channels, as well as more than 18,000 movies, TV shows and documentaries. The Local Now app is available on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Xfinity, Vizio, Samsung, Android and IOS devices. Learn more at LocalNow.com.

Local Now adds to the growing list of options viewers have to enjoy SCETV programming. In addition to traditional satellite broadcast, South Carolina residents can access a livestream on scetv.org. Content can also be streamed on the SCETV app, which is available on all iOS and Android devices, and YouTube TV. Furthermore, content is available on all SCETV-branded PBS platforms, including PBS.org and PBSKIDS.org, as well as the PBS app and PBS KIDS app available on iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung TV and Chromecast.
